Abstract

Insall and his colleagues introduced the Q-angle also called as quadriceps angle a clinical measurement to assess patellar alignment. It has since become a standard part of knee examinations and is widely used in orthopedics and sports medicine. [4] A common clinical metric utilized in the evaluation of individuals with knee joint issues, such as Anterior Knee Pain, is the quadriceps angle. [1] The Q angle, defined as the angle between the quadriceps tendon and the patellar tendon, is a widely used clinical measurement to assess lower extremity alignment and its potential relationship with knee pathologies, particularly in females. [2, 3]
