Introduction[edit | edit source]
Patella alta or high riding patella is a risk factor for patellar instability and pain.[1]
Many imaging modalities are used to measure the height of the patella including Blackburne-Peel ratio, Insall-Salvati ratio, the Caton-Deschamps ratio, modified Insall-Salvati ratio and patellotrochlear index. [1]
Method[edit | edit source]
Blackburne-Peel ratio compares the distance of the articular cartilage surface of the patella to a line drawn from the tibial plateau to the inferior pole of patella. [2]
Steps:
- A lateral radiograph of the knee with 30 degrees of flexion is obtained, and a horizontal line at the level of the tibial plateau is drawn.
- Measurement (B): a perpendicular line is drawn vertically from the horizontal line of the tibial plateau to the inferior aspect of the patellar articular surface.
- Measurement (A): a line is made along the patella articular surface.
- A/B is a measure of patella height
Normal value = ratio of 0.8.
Patella alta = ratio >1.0 [3]
Evidence[edit | edit source]
Seil et al and Berg et al, found Blackburne-Peel ratio to be most reliable on computed radiography.
To fully assess the patellofemoral anatomic morphology using the Blackburne-Peel ratio both conventional radiographs and a scan should be done.[1]
