ABSTRACT

Abstract Objective: To establish the prevalence of patellar chondropathy using 3T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and to correlate the findings with individual features such as gender, age, and body mass index. Materials and Methods: Data consisted of collecting 3T MRIs of patients' knees obtained between October 2016 and September 2017, comprising a period of 12 months. These MRIs were assessed by an experienced musculoskeletal radiologist who confirmed the presence of patellar chondropathy and, when present, rated the finding into the four grades ascribed by the International Cartilage Repair Society. Results: A total number of 291 patients were assessed during the period with 389 MRI scans. Of those patients, 308 (79.2%) were diagnosed with patellar chondropathy, while 81 (20.8%) were not. Chondropathy was more prevalent in the female gender, in subjects above 40 years of age, and in obese patients. When the results were weighed in International Cartilage Repair Society classification, the milder grades (1 and 2) were seen in younger men (< 30 years of age), while the more severe grades (3 and 4) were mostly present in females, those above 40 years of age, and in obese patients. Conclusion: There was a high prevalence of patellar chondropathy in patients who had undergone high-field knee MRIs (79.2%), being highest in the female gender and in subjects above 40 years of age. The most prevalent group was graded as 4 by the International Cartilage Repair Society classification.


Resumo Objetivo: Estabelecer a prevalência de condropatia patelar em exames de ressonância magnética (RM) em campo de 3,0 T e associar os achados com características como gênero, idade e índice de massa corporal. Materiais e Métodos: Foram coletados exames de RM de joelho em campo magnético de 3.0 T no período de outubro de 2016 a setembro de 2017. Os exames foram analisados por radiologista com experiência em radiologia musculoesquelética, que verificou a presença de condropatia patelar e a classificou entre os quatro graus, de acordo com a classificação da International Cartilage Repair Society. Resultados: Foram avaliados 291 pacientes, com a realização de 389 exames de RM. Destes exames, 308 (79,2%) apresentavam condropatia patelar e apenas 81 (20,8%) não a apresentavam. A doença foi vista mais frequentemente nas mulheres, em indivíduos acima de 40 anos e em obesos. Quando classificada por graus, os mais leves (graus 1 e 2) foram mais observados em homens e jovens (< 30 anos) e os mais severos (graus 3 e 4) no sexo feminino, nos acima de 40 anos e nos obesos. Conclusão: A prevalência de condropatia patelar nos pacientes que realizaram RM foi elevada (79,2%), sendo maior no sexo feminino e nos indivíduos acima de 40 anos. Dentro da classificação da International Cartilage Repair Society, o grupo mais prevalente foi o grau 4.
