Evaluation of Patellar Dimension and Bristol Index in Asian Population

Evaluation of Patellar Dimension and Bristol Index in Asian Population: an MRI Study

Restoration of patellar thickness is pivotal during a total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Several studies showed there are differences in the knee measurements between Asian and Western population. This study aims to evaluate the patellar dimension and Bristol Index of patellar width to thickness (BIPWiT) using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in Asian population.

Inclusion Criteria:

• knee pain

Exclusion Criteria:

• degenerative joint disease
• patellofemoral pathology
