Estimation Of 3d Shape In The Patellofemoral Joint Using Statistical Shape Models And 2d Data, Colm O'Kane Jan 2010

Estimation Of 3d Shape In The Patellofemoral Joint Using Statistical Shape Models And 2d Data, Colm O'Kane

Conference Papers

Disorders of the patellofemoral joint (PFJ) including PF osteoarthritis and PF pain disorder have been estimated to represent 25% of all patients presenting for knee joint treatment. The diagnosis and treatment of these disorders is curtailed by lack of understanding of the mechanical operation of the joint. A crucial aspect to be considered in understanding contact patterns and kinematics of the PFJ is the alignment of the patella in the trochlear groove. Investigation of patellar alignment necessitates accurate knowledge of the 3D articular surfaces of both patella and femur, along with underlying bone geometry. These 3D data are generally obtained …
