Table 4.
Incidence of patella baja and pseudo-patella baja
| Hemophilia | Rheumatoid arthritis | p-Value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Preoperative | |||
| Normal/patella bajaa/PPBb | 34/14/0 | 88/4/0 | < 0.001‡ |
| Postoperative | |||
| Normal/patella bajaa/PPBb | 28/15/5 | 80/4/8 | < 0.001‡ |
‡Statistical significance was analyzed in comparison of postoperative incidence of patella baja or pseudo-patella baja in patients with normal preoperative patellar height
aPatella baja: both Insall–Salvati ratio (< 0.8) and Blackburne–Peel ratio (< 0.54) are abnormally low
bPPB (pseudo-patella baja): normal Insall–Salvati ratio (0.8–1.2) but low Blackburne–Peel ratio (< 0.54)
