The patients underwent MRI of the leg at 1.5 T using a peripheral angiography coil and a T2-weighted half-Fourier acquisition single-shot turbo spin echo (HASTE) sequence for measuring femoral antetorsion, tibial torsion, knee rotation, and mechanical axis deviation (MAD). The mean values of these parameters were compared between patients and controls. In addition, the patients underwent an assessment to determine the influence of rotational limb alignment on lateral trochlear inclination, trochlear facet asymmetry, trochlear depth, Insall-Salvati index, and tibial tuberosity\u2013trochlear groove distance.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Patients had 1.56-fold higher mean femoral antetorsion (20.3\u00b0 \u00b1 10.4\u00b0 vs 13.0\u00b0 \u00b1 8.4\u00b0; P &lt; .01) and 1.6-fold higher knee rotation (9.4\u00b0 \u00b1 5.0\u00b0 vs 5.7\u00b0 \u00b1 4.3\u00b0; P &lt; .01) compared with controls. Moreover, patients had 2.9 times higher MAD (0.81 \u00b1 0.75 mm vs \u22120.28 \u00b1 0.87 mm; P &lt; .01). Differences in tibial torsion were not significant. Also, there were no significant correlations between parameters of rotational alignment and standard anatomic risk factors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our results suggest that some patients with nontraumatic patellar instability have greater internal femoral rotation, greater knee rotation, and a tendency for genu valgum compared with healthy controls.
