In cases where patella maltracking has led to patellofemoral osteoarthritis or stress reaction, a SPECT/CT is likely to demonstrate very sensitive increased bone tracer uptake in the patella. Axial CT (or MRI) images and lateral radiographs are used as part of the Dejour classification. In type A, the trochlea is shallow or symmetrically concave. Imaging of the patellofemoral joint (PFJ) is essential for evaluating patellofemoral pathology and injury. In addition to a detailed history and physical examination, PFJ imaging should be used to better understand the relationship between osseous and soft tissue structures, further confirm a diagnosis, and to create an individualized treatment plan for each patient. The multifactorial origin of anterior knee pain in patellofemoral joint disorders leads to a demanding diagnostic process. Patellofemoral misalignment is pointed out as one of the main causes of anterior knee pain. The main anatomical risk factors of patellofemoral instability addressed in the literature are trochlear dysplasia, abnormal patellar height, and excessive tibial tubercle Background: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ultrasound (US) in combination with clinical data could contribute to the diagnosis, staging and follow-up of Patello-Femoral Syndrome (PFS), which often overlaps with other pathologies of the knee. Purpose of the Study: To evaluate the diagnostic role of MRI and US findings associated with PFS and define the range values of instrumental Patellofemoral pain and instability are common indications for imaging that are encountered in everyday practice. The authors comprehensively review key aspects of patellofemoral instability pertinent to radiologists that can be seen before the onset of osteoarthritis, highlighting the anatomy, clinical evaluation, diagnostic imaging, and treatment.
