Linear intensity changes in anterior portion of distal femur, direction is from medio-anterior to latero-posterior, length is 24 mm. PD+fatsat - hypersignal, T1 - hyposignal, which is consistent with edema along wound channel in the cancellous bone.
Short patellar tendon, relation of tendon length to patellar height is 0.61 (normal mean range is 1; ratio >1.2 is diagnostic of patella alta and <0.8 is diagnostic of patella baja).
