Patellofemoral measurements for patella instability scores

mediCAD 3D Knee creates an exceptionally informative 3D model from axial CT or MRt slice images. Depending on the soft tissue contrast of the CT, muscle, ligaments and even the patient’s skin can be depicted.
This 3D model gives a good indication of the course of the patellar tendon at the knee and its lateralisation, as well as of bony deformities, even at first glance.
Dimension all instability factors of the patella on such a CT or MRI such as:

• Patellar height (Insall-Salvati, Caton-Dechamps, Blackburne-Peel, patellotrochlear index according to Albrecht and Biedert)
• Femoral, tibial and whole leg torsion, knee version
• TT-TG, TT-PCL, Patella Shift, Patella Tilt
• Trochlear dysplasia: trochlear depth, lateral trochlear inclination, sulcus angle
