We review genetic diseases with identified molecular bases that include abnormal, reduced (hypoplasia), or absent (aplasia) patellae as a significant aspect of the phenotype. The known causal genes can be broadly organized according to three major developmental and cellular processes, although some genes may act in more than one of these: limb ...

Tuberculosis causing an osteolytic lesion in the patella is very rare, having been reported on only four previous occasions. We present such a case and discuss the radiological features which help in differentiating tuberculosis from other similar lesions.

Modeling electrical dispersion phenomena in Earth materials
It is illustrated that IP phenomena in rocks can be described using conductivity dispersion models deduced as solutions to a 2nd-order linear differential equation describing the motion of a charged particle immersed in an external electrical field. Five

Pseudochondromalacia Patellae [PDF]
A condition causing knee pain with retropatellar crepitus similar to chondromalacia patellae is described. The symptoms seem to be due not to chondromalacia of the patella, but to a local synovial thickening proximal to the articular surface of the medial femoral condyle.

Frontal Tendon Lengthening Plasty for Treatment of Structural Patella Baja
Patella baja is a severe complication seen after trauma, prolonged immobilization and surgery. Several surgical methods have been described to proximalize the patella without a change in the patella tendon length.
