Association between patellofemoral osteoarthritis with demographic features and anatomical variants of the knee in non-traumatic patients

CONCLUSION: Anatomical knee variants, including the TT-TG distance, trochlear dysplasia, and Insall-Salvati ratio, are significant risk factors for PFOA progression. The results also indicate that higher BMI and older age are significantly associated with more measures of MRI Osteoarthritis Knee Score (MOAKS) than demographic information. Among anatomical variants, a higher TT-TG distance and an increased grade of trochlear dysplasia show a significant relationship with more measures of MOAKS. Understanding the relationship between these factors has important clinical and research implications and can help inform the development of new treatments.PMID:38213796 | PMC:PMC10776868 | DOI:10.62347/XBFS6691
