Abstract
Objectives: This study aims to investigate the effect of the geographical conditions on patellar height.Methods: Two different groups of the same society were created according to the geographical structures that peoplelive in (fully rugged mountainous terrain Giresun and flat terrain Alanya). But the daily activities such as kneeling, praying,squatting or sitting with crossed legs were same culturally. The study included patients living and working in theseareas, as their parents, throughout their lives. Knee MRI of patients who did not suffer anterior knee pain were retrospectivelyevaluated. The Insall-Salvati index (ISI) was calculated and the patella baja incidence rates were comparedbetween regions using the Fisher’s exact test.Results: A total of 885 knee MRIs were evaluated. The mean ISI for all individuals was found significantly different witha mean of 0.946±0.141 in Giresun and 1.014±0.13 in Alanya (p
