The Association of Forefoot Varus Deformity with Patellofemoral Cartilage Damage in Older Adult Cadavers
CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study suggest a relationship between forefoot varus and medial PFJ cartilage damage in older adults. As forefoot varus may be modified with foot orthoses, these findings indicate a potential role for orthoses in the treatment of medial PFJ OA. This article is protected by copyright.
