Patellar height is an important parameter of patellar stability. Its importance is evident from various attempts to measure it, by different scientists from time to time and many indices have been derived among which Insall-Salvati index (IS index) is the most simple, accurate and easy to measure. In this study a new clinical method has been tried to measure patellar height by applying the same principle of IS index.
