Results
On fat-saturated PD-weighted images in infrapatellar fat pad impingement syndrome is visualized a focal area of edema of the lateral portion of the infrapatellar fat pad due to compressing the lateral aspect of Hoffa’s fat pad by the lateral femoral condyle (Fig.3).
In anterior suprapatellar fat pad impingment syndrome identified increased signal intensity of the suprapatellar fat pad,
with a convex posterior border and mass effect over the suprapatellar joint recess (Fig.4).
In our study the most common was infrapatellar fat pad impingement syndrome in 61 patients (80%) (Fig.5).
Rarely detected cases of anterior suprapatellar fat pad impingment syndrome in 15 patients (20%) and both variants (Fig.7) in 4 patients (5%).
In some patients revealed shapes of the patella based on Wiberg classification - type 2 in 47 patients (62%),
type 3 in 8 patients (10%) (Fig.6).
We also differentiated the high position of the patella (patella alta) in 62 patients (81%) (Fig.5).
