These groups were compared for risk factors for patellar dislocation (patellar height, trochlear dysplasia, and quadriceps angle of action) and for ACL injury (intercondylar width, posterior inclination of tibial plateaus, and depth of the medial plateau). Univariate analysis found statistically significant differences (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.05) between the patella and ACL groups in patellar height (Caton-Deschamps [CD] 1.23 vs. 1.07), trochlear facet asymmetry (55 vs. 68%), PTTG (13.08 vs. 8.01\u2009mm), and the patellar tip and trochlear groove (PTTG) angle (29.5 vs. 13.71 degrees). The patella group also differed from control in medial plateau inclination (4.8 vs. 1.87 degrees), patellar height (CD 1.23 vs 1.08), trochlear facet asymmetry (55 vs. 69%), lateral trochlear inclination (17.11 vs. 20.65 degrees), trochlear depth (4.1 vs. 6.05\u2009mm), PTTG (13.08 vs. 9.85\u2009mm), and the PTTG angle (29.5 vs. 17.88 degrees). The ACL and control groups were similar in all measures. Multivariate analysis found the following significant determinants between the Patella and Control groups: patellar height (CD index, odds ratio [OR]: 80.13, p\u2009=\u20090.015), trochlear anatomy (asymmetry of facets M\/L, OR: 1.06, p\u2009=\u20090.031) and quadriceps action angle (PTTG angle, OR: 1.09, p\u2009=\u20090.016); between the ACL and control groups: PTTG angle (OR: 0.936, p\u2009=\u20090.04) and female gender (OR: 3.876, p\u2009=\u20090.032); and between the patella and ACL groups, the CD index (OR: 67.62, p\u2009=\u20090.026), asymmetry of the M\/L facets (OR: 1.07, p\u2009=\u20090.011) and PTTG angle (OR: 1.16, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). In conclusion, in patients with acute knee injury, the anatomical factors patellar height, trochlear dysplasia, and quadriceps angle of action were related to the occurrence of patellar dislocation. None of the anatomical factors studied was related to the occurrence of anterior cruciate ligament injury.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0040-1716504","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,17]],"date-time":"2020-09-17T22:51:41Z","timestamp":1600383101000},"page":"676-683","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Anatomical Risk Factors for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury Are Not Important As Patellar Instability Risk Factors in Patients with Acute Knee Injury"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"35","author":[{"given":"Riccardo Gomes","family":"Gobbi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Ortopedia, Hospital das Cl\u00ednicas, Faculdade de Medicina, Universidade de S\u00e3o Paulo, S\u00e3o Paulo, SP, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Livia Dau","family":"Videira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Ortopedia, Hospital das Cl\u00ednicas, Faculdade de Medicina, Universidade de S\u00e3o Paulo, S\u00e3o Paulo, SP, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anderson Albuquerque","family":"dos Santos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Ortopedia, Hospital das Cl\u00ednicas, Faculdade de Medicina, Universidade de S\u00e3o Paulo, S\u00e3o Paulo, SP, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marcello Barni","family":"Saruhashi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Ortopedia, Hospital das Cl\u00ednicas, Faculdade de Medicina, Universidade de S\u00e3o Paulo, S\u00e3o Paulo, SP, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bruno Romano","family":"Lucarini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculdade de Medicina, Universidade de S\u00e3o Paulo, S\u00e3o Paulo, SP, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4188-1882","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Renan Jos\u00e9 Rodrigues","family":"Fernandes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Ortopedia, Hospital das Cl\u00ednicas, Faculdade de Medicina, Universidade de S\u00e3o Paulo, S\u00e3o Paulo, SP, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pedro Nogueira","family":"Giglio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Ortopedia, Hospital das Cl\u00ednicas, Faculdade de Medicina, Universidade de S\u00e3o Paulo, S\u00e3o Paulo, SP, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9 Ricardo","family":"P\u00e9cora","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Ortopedia, Hospital das Cl\u00ednicas, Faculdade de Medicina, Universidade de S\u00e3o Paulo, S\u00e3o Paulo, SP, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gilberto Luis","family":"Camanho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Ortopedia, Hospital das Cl\u00ednicas, Faculdade de Medicina, Universidade de S\u00e3o Paulo, S\u00e3o Paulo, SP, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3963-5241","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Betina Bremer","family":"Hinckel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, William Beaumont Hospital, Royal Oak, Michigan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","volume-title":"Campbell's Operative Orthopedics","author":"C Beaty","year":"2009","edition":"11th ed"},{"issue":"02","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"198","DOI":"10.1177\/036354659402200208","article-title":"Femoral intercondylar notch stenosis and correlation to anterior cruciate ligament injuries.
