Figure 1. — Measuring the MPFL-to-physis distance. (A) The femoral insertion of the MPFL is identified on axial T2 images as it merges with MCL origin. (B) The position is then cross-referenced onto coronal T1 images. (C) The perpendicular distance between a line through the cortical margins of the distal femoral physis and the MPFL insertion is then measured. MPFL, medial patellofemoral ligament; MCL, medial collateral ligament.
