Roentgenometric diagnostics of the knee dysplasia

Abstract

We have studied the anatomical structure of femoral intercondylar fossa and tibial intercondylar eminence with determination of their linear and angular sizes, counting the indices, allowing to make screening diagnostics of dysplastic syndrome. The method of geometrical construction has been used for this purpose. Our study is based on the knee x-rays in standard frontal view in 2 groups of adult subjects (36 normal joints and 36 joints of patients with gonarthrosis of dysplastic genesis).
