It has long been known that certain factors predispose to paterofemoral malalignment disorder. For example, there is a higher incidence of this disorder among women than men. It is also known that individuals whose fibrous supporting structure is innately weak are more susceptible to patello-femoral malalignment disorder : this includes individuals with general joint laxity(including the wrist, elbow and shoulder joints), marked genu recuruvatum, and high lateral mobility of patella. Four sports players with paterofemoral malalignment disorder who has high statue and heavy weight underwent operative treatment. In these athletes, we now turn to our studies of the relationship between the grade of patello-femoral alignment and predisposing factors. Given findings from these athletes, it seems to concude that of the many predisposing factors which have discussed in literature, several in fact do affect the alignment of the patello-femoral joint, i.e. patellar position, genu valgum, depth of the patellar groove of the femur, and patellar shape. We should consider the fact that the grade of patello-femoral alignment is affected not only by predisposing factors but also by individual habits, such as the choice the leg to be used as the axis in body-twisting movements in sports activities.
