Patellofemoral morphology and alignment: reference values and dose-response patterns for the relation to MRI features of patellofemoral osteoarthritis

SA, patellar tilt, and bisect offset were most strongly associated with full thickness cartilage damage. LTI, patellar tilt and bisect offset had stronger associations with the addition of pain. These findings contribute to better identifying a subset of patients who may benefit from mechanically based interventions.
