Mean measurement of patellar height using the Insall–Salvati method for radiographic assessment (R) and CT in extension (CTE), 20 degrees of flexion (CTF) and quadriceps contraction (CTC) between men and women. It can be observed that there were significant differences between the genders in all assessments (p < 0.05).
