Introduction

Anterior knee pain is a common presentation of patello-femoral dysfunction and patients with this disorder represent a significant proportion attending a specialist knee clinic. There is an on-going debate as to the cause and best treatment for such patients. Previous studies on patella-femoral morphology have suggested patella maltracking plays an important part in the aetiology but there had been no studies correlating maltracking with articular cartilage change.

Methods

We studied 147 consecutive patients (294 knees) aged between 10 and 63 presenting with anterior knee pain. All underwent MRI tracking scan of their knees as part of the routine investigations. We analysed the prevalence of maltracking with respect to gender, laterality and age groups, as well as patello-femoral articular cartilage changes.

Introduction

The clinical and functional outcome following simultaneous fractures of the acetabulum and pelvic ring represent a challenge for the clinician and are currently obscure in the existing literature.

Patients and Methods

Between January 2003 and July 2009 all patients with combined pelvic and acetabular fractures were included in this prospectively study. Demographic details, mechanism of injury, ISS, surgical procedures, post-operative course, length of hospital stay, and radiological (Matta's score) and functional outcomes (The Merle d' Aubigne hip score) were recorded. The minimum follow up was 12 months (12–72).
