title: [Computed tomography of patellar chondropathy. Experimental and clinical results].
abstract: Experimental studies of patellae at autopsy and clinical CT-arthrographic examinations of 36 patients show that CT provides good demonstration of the retropatellar cartilage and its lesions. The value of the method compared with conventional radiographic examinations, arthroscopy and surgery is discussed.
