Description
Volkan Kizilgoz measures kneecap height on MRI scans in a 2023 paper. The Blackburne-Peel index gives a standard ratio for patellar height. X-ray values are known, but MRI norms were less settled.
One hundred forty-eight knee scans were re-measured for the study. An adapted version of the index suited the MRI images. Results were split by sex and by age groups. Correlations with age were tested across the sample. The overall mean index came out near 0.80 in the sample. Readers in orthopedics gain reference values for judging kneecap position on MRI.
