The Insall-Salvati ratio is the ratio of the patella tendon length to the length of the patella. This can be measured on a lateral knee xray or sagittal MRI. Ideally the knee is 30 degrees flexed
In the modified Insall-Salvati ratio, patellar bone length is replaced with patellar articular cartilage length. The Insall-Salvati index, however, is the most widely accepted method because of its lack of dependence on the degree of knee flexion and its established MRI criteria [1][2]
