Synopsis

Keywords: Tendon/Ligament, Tendon/Ligament, Bone shape, T2 mapping, T1ρ mapping

Motivation: Patellar tendinopathy (PT) is a common injury in basketball that can lead to early retirement. Basketball influences bone shape and cartilage composition, yet the association between these factors and PT is unknown.

Goal(s): We examined the association between PT, bone shape, and patellar cartilage composition in collegiate basketball players.

Approach: We developed a measure of bone shape indicative of PT and investigated whether PT-associated bone shape is associated with patellar cartilage T2/T1ρ.

Results: We effectively separated grades of PT using bone shape and identified bone shape features associated with PT. We found patellar cartilage composition is independent of PT and bone shape.

Impact: We developed a measure to identify varying grades of PT based on bone shape in collegiate basketball players. Future work will determine the association of our PT-bone shape score with MR-identifiable measures to identify athlete specific PT risk factors.
