“…Numerous studies have outlined the morphological characteristics of DLM [7,[21][22][23][24][25] and, compared with a normal meniscus, patients with DLM have a higher frequency of meniscal tears [5,6]. In this study, we showed that most patients with DLM have a horizontal-type PTFJ.…”

“…This tissue variation, however, frequently causes abnormal shearing forces, leading to a high frequency of meniscal tears, more than twice that seen in patients with a normal, crescent-shaped meniscus (20.4% vs. 9.9%) [5,6]. Others also report that the knee joint itself may also show abnormalities in patients with DLM, including changes in bone morphology [7,8]. An understanding of these unique anatomical features and the factors to predispose a high frequency of tears in patients with DLM could lead to the development of a therapeutic strategy for these patients.…”

“…Because the lateral femoral condyle is larger and projects farther interiorly than the medial condyle, the trochlear groove is thought to provide bony stability resisting laterally directed forces depth of the intercondylar sulcus is a primary cause of lateralization of the patella, other investigators 12 have hypothesized that abnormal patellar kinematics are a result of the patella resting above the trochlear groove. Moreover, other studies have indicated that the shape of the lateral femoral condyle and osteochondritis dissecans may be associated with the development of patellofemoral lesions which are higher in females than males 32 .…”

Background: Femoral sulcus angle is particularly important in clinical evaluation of patellofemoral joint. Individuals show considerable differences in asymmetrical dimensions of the femur. Objectives: To determine the size of femoral sulcus angles in adult black Malawians using the skeletal collection in the department of Anatomy, College of Medicine and assess their gender differences; to compare femoral sulcus angles of Malawians with other ethnic groups. Methods: A cross sectional study was done in which femoral sulcus angles of dry bones were measured using a goniometer. Results: There is no significant difference in the mean sulcus angles between right and left femora in males (p=0.8100) and females (p=0.0742); between all males combined and females combined (p=0.8845). There is a significant difference in the mean between all left femora combined and all right femora combined (p=0.0260). Conclusion:This study has provided the mean size of the femoral sulcus angle of adult Malawians. These findings suggest that the size of the sulcus angle cannot determine gender among adult black Malawians suggesting the interpretation that femora asymmetric dimensions are population specific, which should be considered in the patellofemoral joint evaluation.

“…1 Although the etiology is not clearly understood, OCD is characterized by avascular subchondral bone with or without separation and instability of the overlying articular cartilage. 2,3 OCD may affect any joint, but the knee is the most common location, with most lesions affecting the medial femoral condyle, 3 although lateral condyle 4 and patellar lesions 5 have also been reported.…”

Osteochondritis dissecans lesions occur frequently in children and adolescents. Treatment can be challenging and depends on the status of the articular cartilage and subchondral bone. Injection of calcium phosphate bone substitute into the area of subchondral bone edema (Subchondroplasty; Knee Creations, West Chester, PA) may be an option. We present a case of a lateral tibial plateau osteochondritis dissecans lesion treated with subchondral injection of nanocrystalline calcium phosphate. Preoperative magnetic resonance imaging is used to determine the area of subchondral edema, and intraoperative fluoroscopy is used to localize this area with the injection cannula. Calcium phosphate is injected by use of a series of syringes until the appropriate fill is obtained. Treatment of concomitant cartilage defects may also be carried out at this time.
