Implication

Radiographic anatomical investigation reveals structural alterations of the intercondylar groove in patellar dislocation, highlighting key anatomical risk factors.

Key Points

To examine the normal radiographic anatomy of the femoral intercondylar groove and identify structural variations associated with recurrent dislocation of the patella.
Conducted a clinical and radiographic anatomical evaluation comparing normal knee joints to joints affected by recurrent patellar dislocation.
Used standardized X-ray measurements to quantify the depth, shape, and angles of the femoral intercondylar groove and adjacent condylar structures.
Characterized baseline anatomical dimensions and normal variations of the femoral trochlea and intercondylar groove.
Identified distinct morphological flattening and dysplasia of the groove in cases presenting with recurrent patellar instability compared with normal anatomy.
