Sažetak
The aim of this presentation is to show possibilities and disabilities in imaging of the femoropatellar joint chondromalatic lesions among 75 examined patients that suffered from knee problems ; 25 patients were isolated as femoropatellar joint chondromalatic lesions. Patients were between 20 and 60 years old among whom were 15 male and 10 female. Patients underwent examination at 0.5T Shimadzu machine, by standard protocol for the knee, basic using T2-weighted imaging, but also were used T2* gradient echo- images and STIR images, according to femoropatellar joint imaging. After evaluation of chondromalatic lesions and correlation with arthroscopic grading from 1-4 grade of chondromalatic lesions, we found in 25 patient isolated chondromalatic lesion, where most lesions where located in the medial part or in the middle part of the lateral patellar facet. Evaluated chondromalatic lesion included all grading from 1-4, but mostly grade 1 and 2. In our evaluation is concluded that localization for best imaging were middle or medial part of lateral and medial patellar facet, and best image quality was achieved by using T2-weighted imaging.
