New research conducted at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio has found that adolescents who experience a patellar dislocation are at an increased risk of developing patellofemoral posttraumatic osteoarthritis. The study used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to measure T1 rho relaxation times in the patellofemoral cartilage of adolescents after a patellar dislocation. The results showed that elevated T1 rho relaxation times indicate cartilage degradation and a higher risk of long-term patellofemoral osteoarthritis. The study also found that parameters related to patellar maltracking were correlated with cartilage degradation after a first dislocation. This research was supported by the U.S. Department of Defense and has been peer-reviewed. [Extracted from the article] |
