Patellofemoral Research Program
The patellofemoral research program centers around utilizing the power of 3D imaging such as computer tomography (CT) and magnet resonance imaging (MRI) to better inform clinical decision making in the treatment of patients with patellofemoral disease by developing new analytical techniques and metrics. Tools include the creation of 3D models, 3D analysis of the patellofemoral joint, and custom surgical guides to improve surgical precision and outcomes. Among others the following patellofemoral conditions are at the center of research efforts: Patellofemoral instability, patellofemoral osteoarthritis, and anterior knee pain.
