The correlation between the insertion level of the vastus medialis muscle and lateral patellofemoral angle (LPA), lateral patellar displacement (LPD) and tilt (LPT), and the height of the patella (LT/LP) was analyzed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with patellar dislocation (n = 10) and in control subjects (n = 10). Images were produced in 0 degrees and 20 degrees of knee flexion. The insertion level to the patella was also analyzed with the knee in extension. No significant correlation was noted between the insertion level and different patellofemoral indexes, but multiple-regression analysis showed that the best predictor for the insertion level was the LPA with the knee in extension. The insertion level was significantly more proximal in patients with patellar dislocations than in normal subjects.
