Several anatomical variants of both patella and the trochlea exist. … With an angle from 90 to 100 degrees, one sees the forminto which most Wiberg Type III patients will fall . The patient underwent left knee arthroscopy and MPFL Wiberg type I and type III patella ratio in the IBFS group was higher than the control group (P < 0.001, and P = 0.003, respectively). For statistical analysis we used the Wilcoxon signed ranks test. 7.5). For type I, the facets are concave, symmetrical, and of equal size. Found inside – Page 4255.96g) ○ a type 2 patellar morphology (Wiberg) is also more common in trochlear dysplasia ○○ classification: 4 types of trochlear dysplasia are described ... Patella morphology evaluation (dysplasia patellae): The subchondral wiberg angle splits the morphology of the patella into three types. four type A trochleas, 12 type B, six type C and four type D. Patellar morphology was evaluated according to Wiberg’s classification [7]. We compared transverse diameter, cartilaginous thickness, Wiberg-index and -angle, length and radius of lateral and medial facet, patellar shape and angle, retropatellar length, and type of trochlear dysplasia. The mean Caton and Table 1 Summary of clinical results. Found inside – Page 807According to an anatomic study , 325 type II occurs most frequently ( 57 % ) , followed by type I ( 24 % ) and type III ( 19 % ) . ... Wiberg 00 was unable to confirm a relationship between chondromalacia and the morphology of the patella . A. An injured patella tendon can be treated with soft-tissue massage, anti-inflammatory medication The patellar tendon is a strong tendon extending from the kneecap to the tibial tubercle or the front of the.. In the classification of the patella types on the axial graph described by Wiberg, 6 (23.07%) were Type I, 19 (73.07%) were Type II and 1 (3.84%) was Type III. Type 3. Enhanced by 2000 full colour illustrations this is a comprehensive resource for all interns, residents and orthopaedic surgeons. X- patella may not lie directly over the centre of the groove ray findings of a high riding patella, a dysplastic femoral when the knee is in full extension and the patellar ridge is groove and a Wiberg type 3 patella may support the usually asymmetrically placed, making the … This bulge (or bump) of the distal medial facet is especially visible on axial views of the patella at 30° of flexion where a double outline of the medial side can be seen, one oblique (proximal part), the other with a more or less pronounced bulge, at a nearly 90° angle to the lateral side of the patella (Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 3). [ 14] which measured the patella morphology using CT imaging. Ten knees (24.3%) had patella alta and the remaining 31 had patella norma (75.7%) in the study group. The Wiberg Type 2 is felt to be the most common type according to Hennsge (9). The thickness of the bone anterior to the tunnels are 5.9 mm, 2.5 mm and 6.2 mm. Type A (medial and lateral facet equal length and concave) as well as type B (flattened medial slightly shortened facet) are considered non-pathological patella shapes, while a convex, shortened medial joint facet (Wiberg Type C) is considered a risk factor for the development of patellofemoral instability . the patella. Found inside – Page 182Wiberg (1941) described a three‐category system of the patella: • Type 1: medial ... Type II: width of medial articular facet is flat or slightly convex and ... A type IV was later described by Baumgartl, the “Jaegerhut” patella, with no medial facet and, consequently, no median ridge. Found inside – Page 95Grelsamer , R. In 1941 , Wiberg published his classification of patellar morphologies in the axial plane and correlated ... Type II and Type III ab < 1.2 ; and Type IV alb > 1.5 ( short articular surface , long distal facet relative to patellar length ) . In type III, the medial facet is convex and significantly smaller than the lateral facet. Wiberg classification is a system for describing the shape of the patella based mainly on asymmetry between the patellar medial and lateral facet on axial views of the patella. uted most to the medial stability of the patella, but were unable to say at what point the release would result in over-correction and medial subluxation of the patella. 3). Despite numerous studies, a lack of consensus still exists over many aspects of patellofemoral pain, instability, and arthritis. This book adopts an evidence-based approach to assess each of these topics in depth. 9 The shape of the patella can be a predisposing factor to patellar instability, with association between Wiberg patellar shape type III and lateral patelar subluxation. Wiberg’s classification is based on the morphology of the medial facet of the patella on a skyline radiograph at 30° of flexion and consists of three types (Fig. 2), the slice image with the widest diameter of the patella was used for the measuring in the axial plane. Fig. The patella bone goes through the process of ossifying (turning into bone) between the ages of three and six years old. Type 1: medial and lateral facets are gently concave and nearly equal in size. The frequency of patella alta was significantly higher in the study group in … The Wiberg index is defined as the ratio of the transverse length of the lateral patellar facet (AE) to the patellar width (AB) 13 (Fig. Found inside – Page 128This makes up 10% of patella morphology. Type 2, patellae have a flat or convex medial facet that is much smaller in size than the lateral facet. An angle greater than 140 degrees gives a flattened, potentially unstable patella, a so‑called "pebble‑shaped" patella . For type II, the medial facet is smaller than the lateral facet (medial facet is … The morphology of patella was evaluated according to Wiberg classification in the axial plane : type 1: roughly equal medial and lateral facets, type 2: slightly smaller than lateral-medial facet, Wiberg type II patella ratio in the IBFS group was lower than the control group (P = 0.006). Patello-femoral (PF) osteoarthritic change (OA) is one of the most severe causes of knee pain in the elderly population [ 11 , 12 , 21 ]. A type II patella is most common and Wiberg believed that a type III patella was most prone to chondromalacia and pain . In addition, we also planned to show the relationship between meniscus damage, subcutaneous adipose tissue thickness as a marker of obesity, patellar tilt angle and chondromalacia patella. 1). "Osteoarthritis is a major public health issue due to its impact in term of handicap. A second cartilaginous Wiberg-angle was measured on the most distal transverse image where the patella was still covered with cartilage, as the distal part of the patella is the first part to enter the trochlea during extension–flexion motion. trochlear groove morphology, patella height, patellar tracking. Case Discussion. P.1778. 20.13). 2), the slice image with the widest diameter of the patella was used for the measuring in the axial plane.

The Wiberg patella classification is a method of distinguishing shape differences in the axial plane of the patella that can be used to connect shape differences to observed mechanics.
