1: 1 is the normal index of Install and Salviti
The ratio of the length of the patellar tendon (LT) to the length of the patella (LP) is approximately 1: 1. It is called as index of Install and Salviti.
If the length of the patellar tendon is excessive, it can cause patella alta which is an abnormally high position of the patella on the femoral sulcus.
