Bony asymmetry in patellofemoral morphology and risk factors of instability are mostly clinically negligible
Previous investigations suggested that femoral side-to-side differences were located in the upper femur anatomy. However, little is known about the asymmetry between distal femur and patella. The degree of bon...
