BACKGROUND:With the development of sports medicine and research of patel ofemoral disorder, patel a alta has been paid increasing attention as the exact pathogenesis of patel ofemoral disorder. There are many radiographic measurement indexes of patel a alta. A large number of clinicians and radiography physicians are trying to diagnose and treat this disease as early as possible.
OBJECTIVE:To review the radiographic measurement and research progress of patel a alta, find out the advantages and disadvantages of different indexes, and look into the future development prospects.
METHODS:A computer-based online search of Pubmed and CNKI databases between 1989 and 2013 was performed for articles addressing radiographic diagnose and measurement patel a alta. The key words were“patel a alta, patel a height, measurement, diagnosis”in English and“patel a alta, patel a height, patel a position, diagnosis, measurement”in Chinese.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Now there are many measurement indexes of patel a alta and they are divided into two groups:indirect index and direct index. The indirect index measures the relative location of patel a and tibia, such as Insal-Salvat index, Blackburne-Peel index, and Caton-Deschamps index. The direct index measures the relative location of patel a and femur, such as patel otrochlear index, and patel ophyseal index. The latest study indicates that the biomechanics of patel ofemoral joint is the key to understand the pathogenesis of patel ofemoral disorder. As the MRI technique develops, direct index for the location of articular cartilage of patel ofemoral joint, such as patel otrochlear index, seems to be the best measurement to patel a alta. However we stil have many problems in the study of patel otrochlear index.

This paper studied the usage and impact of the theory in hospital development.Based on such,special manifestations behind the marginal diminishing effect are taken into consideration to grasp particular demands and requirements of health,and to look for a positive role and a progressive increase of the marginal utility.Furthermore,the explorations in hospitals,such as technical innovations,structure optimizations and management breakthroughs,as well as the experimental and practical construction of micro-economic administrative mechanism in clinical departments were discussed in the text.It has been demonstrated in practice that the practice has a significant effect on the prevention of marginal diminishing utility and an essential reference on hospital transformational development.
