Dr. Lin Yunfei
Patellar fractures involve injuries to the kneecap and the posterior region of the knee joint. In normal patellar CT images, the contrast at both ends of the patella and the geometric structure formed by the bone framework can be clearly observed. The patella bears pressure on the knee joint and ensures normal knee movement. Normal patellar CT imaging helps clinicians accurately identify injuries or abnormalities, provide diagnoses and treatment plans, maintain knee joint stability, and prevent potential complications.
