Objective: The purpose of this study was analysis of the relationship between meniscal tears and medial patellofemoral rupture according to the treatment method and gender. Methods: This study was planned as retrospective study between January 2010 and January 2021. Magnetic resonance images of 60 individuals (37 knees were left, and 23 were right) were obtained for analysis. Patellar morphology, patellar height and patellar alignment and evaluation lateral and medial meniscus tears were evaluated. Knee MRI protocol including axial T2-weighted turbo spin echo was used. Results: There was a significant difference patellar height (surgery; 1.21±0.27 and conventional; 0.99±0.16), the congruence angle (surgery; -4.94±4.72 and conventional; 4.93±5.72), the lateral patellofemoral angle (surgery; -35.61±16.62 and conventional; 10.93±15.00), except for age parameter (surgery; 27.06±6.20 and conventional; 27.47±5.33) between the conventional and surgical treatment groups (p<0.05). Moreover, we found that 29 patients of the patients with medial patellofemoral rupture had a lateral meniscus tear, 11 patients had a medial meniscus tear, and 8 patients had both lateral and medial meniscus tears. Conclusion: We found that relationship between meniscal tears and medial patellofemoral rupture will affect the treatment course. Also, this study will contribute to evaluate the radiological and clinical correlations, patello-femoral positioning in patients who medial patellofemoral rupture.
