A new radiographic method for estimation of the vertical position of the patella in extension is presented. The vertical position of the patella determined by this method and the length of the ligament, patella and its surface were all found to be related to body-height. The vertical position of the patella may thus be expressed as its ratio to body-height: the vertical index of the patella.
本文提出了一种用于评估伸直位髌骨垂直位置的新影像学方法。通过该方法确定的髌骨垂直位置以及韧带、髌骨的长度及其表面均与身高相关。因此,髌骨的垂直位置可以表示为其与身高的比值:髌骨垂直指数。
