  • Title: Patella alta and gonarthrosis.
    Author: Ahlbäck S, Mattsson S.
    Journal: Acta Radiol Diagn (Stockh); 1978; 19(4):578-84. PubMed ID: 717012.
    Abstract:
    The frequency of patella alta as defined by the method of Insall & Salvati in knees with femoro-patellar osteoarthrosis was determined. Patella alta was six times as frequent in knees with osteoarthrosis than in those with a normal femoro-patellar joint. Patella alta is more common in women and is often bilateral.
