Which patellar alignment problem would an athlete have with a congenitally short patellar tendon?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Patella baja, or "low-riding" patella, occurs when the patellar tendon is abnormally short or when there is excessive bone growth in the front of the tibia. This causes the patella to sit lower than normal in the femoral groove. A congenitally short patellar tendon would result in patella baja, not patella alta or other alignment issues. Squinting patella and "frog-eyed" patella are not recognized patellar alignment problems.
