We aim to investigate whether there are significant relationships between tibial tubercle-trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance, patella angle, trochlear sulcus angle (TSA), trochlear groove depth (TGD), medial and lateral trochlea length (MT and LT), MT\/LT ratio, lateral patellar tilt angle (LPTA), patella-patellar tendon angle (P-PTA), quadriceps-patellar tendon angle (QPA), Insall-Salvati index (ISI), medial and lateral trochlear inclination (MTI and LTI) measurements and important common pathologies such as ACL, PCL, medial and lateral meniscal injuries (MM and LM), peripatellar fat pad edema, chondromalacia, and effusion. Thus, the mechanisms of injury will be better understood by revealing important anatomical variations for meniscus and ligament damage. Three hundred eighty patients with knee magnetic resonance imaging examination were included in this study. Our patients who underwent knee magnetic resonance imaging were divided into groups according to the presence of MM tear, LM tear, ACL tear, PCL tear, peripatellar fat pad edema, chondromalacia and effusion. TT-TG distance, patella angle, TSA, TGD, MT, LT, MT\/LT ratio, LPTA, P-PTA, QPA, ISI, MTI, and LTI were measured. In patients with ACL tear, age, LT, ML\/LT ratio, and QPA measurements were found to be significantly higher. There was no significant difference between the participants' LPTA value and the presence of ACL tear, MM and LM injury. MT and ML\/LT ratio were found to be significantly lower in the group with MM tear (p &lt;0.001). The TT-TG distance was found to be significantly lower in the group with LM tear. Increased age, LT, ML\/LT ratio, and QPA are predisposed risk for ACL tear. Decreased MT and ML\/LT ratio are among the risk factors for MM tear. The anatomical variations are associated with ligament and meniscal injury.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-1933-3592","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,30]],"date-time":"2022-08-30T23:05:17Z","timestamp":1661900717000},"page":"1357-1364","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Evaluation
