Association of Patella Bone Shape and MR-Diagnosed Patellar Tendinopathy with Patellar Cartilage T2/T1ρ in Elite Basketball Players
Motivation: Patellar tendinopathy (PT) is a common injury in basketball that can lead to early retirement. Basketball influences bone shape and cartilage composition, yet the association between these factors and PT is unknown. Goal(s): We examined the association between PT, bone shape, and patellar cartilage composition in collegiate basketball players. Approach: We developed a measure of bone shape indicative of PT and investigated whether PT-associated bone shape is associated with patellar cartilage T2/T1ρ. Results: We effectively separated grades of PT using bone shape and identified bone shape features associated with PT. We found patellar cartilage composition is independent of PT and bone shape. Impact: We developed a measure to identify varying grades of PT based on bone shape in collegiate basketball players. Future work will determine the association of our PT-bone shape score with MR-identifiable measures to identify athlete specific PT risk factors.
