Sažetak
In 86 patients suspected for chondromalacia patellae — the thermographic evaluation with AGA 780 Medical equipment was applied. 19 patients (22%) with unilateral (12) or bilateral (7) clinical diagnosis had normal thermograms. Abnormal thermogram in both knees was found not only in 24 patients with clinical diagnosis of bilateral involvement but also in 9 patients with unilateral chondromalacia. The thermogram showed the presence of other rheumatic diseases (not chondromalacia) in 4 patients. Thermographic findings were confirmed operatively in 69% cases what suggests that, next to artroscopy, thermography is in this moment, the most useful method in detecting chondromalacia patellae.
