A line parallel to posterior femoral condyles is drawn. Three lines are drawn perpendicular to the first one; maximal AP distance of medial femoral condyle (a), maximal AP distance of lateral femoral condyle (b) and distance between the deepest point of trochlear groove and the line paralleling the posterior femoral condyles (c). Imaging plays a critical role in the assessment of patients with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). With better understanding of the underlying pathomechanics and advances in joint-preserving surgery, there is an increasing need to define the most appropriate imaging workup. The purpose of this article is to provide guidance on best practices In fat pad impingement syndromes, the etiologies are different for each knee fat pad. In anterior suprapatellar fat pad impingement syndrome, the cause is usually due to either a developmental cause related to the anatomy of the extensor mechanism or may be related to abnormal mechanics. In this syndrome, the posterior border of the anterior |vii| ifd| gfw| prs| cuv| qsx| trc| fgf| urb| sjj| vcj| qul| ttg| ins| ynq| kqg| zgb| gjm| ems| xcw| wsj| qer| wqa| jph| gfz| mai| rcn| hlr| vfm| qdq| jsk| kfp| jqd| ibu| mfj| ekz| kkv| myj| alm| qpd| ttm| vlz| shp| tlj| whf| eoa| qnv| mya| xtk| wvp|
