Strong

warning

"Patella alta is a high-lying patella with a too-long patellar tendon. Its causes are often idiopathic. Although a lengthened tendon increases the lever arm of the patellar tendon, it predisposes the patient to other issues ³. These include a higher risk of patellofemoral instability and patellofemoral osteoarthritis due to abnormal contact areas ^3,4."

Line 10:4 · Generally, don't use bold in text: '<strong>Patella alta</strong>'

"Patella baja is a low-lying patella with a too-short patellar tendon. Causes can be idiopathic, iatrogenic or trauma-related. Due to the shortened tendon, the lever arm of the patella tendon is reduced, resulting in reduced extension efficiency, extension lag, reduced range of motion and crepitus ⁵."

Line 11:4 · Generally, don't use bold in text: '<strong>Patella baja</strong>'

Prefix Hyphens

warning

"The Insall-Salvati ratio is the ratio of the patella tendon length against the greatest pole-to-pole length of the patella body, measured off a radiograph. It is considered one of the more reliable techniques of measuring patella height with a higher intra- and inter-observer reliability than all other published commonly used measurement techniques."

Line 15:273 · A prefix takes a hyphen only to avoid a duplicate letter: 'inter-observer'.

Oxford Comma

suggestion

Line 11:105 · Use the Oxford comma in 'idiopathic, iatrogenic or trauma'.

"Assessing for patella alta or baja is most reliably done radiographically by measuring the patella height ⁶. There are multiple published methods for assessing the patella height using radiographs, CTs and MRIs."

Line 13:200 · Use the Oxford comma in 'radiographs, CTs and MRIs'.

"uses: radiograph, CT and MRI ^7,8"

Line 16:18 · Use the Oxford comma in 'radiograph, CT and MRI'.

"uses: radiograph, CT or MRI ⁹"
