It is most often discussed when the patella is angled outward (lateral tilt) rather than sitting evenly in the groove. Clinicians use Patellar tilt as a descriptive finding on exam and imaging in people with front-of-knee pain or instability. It is also used to help communicate alignment, tracking, and treatment planning for the patellofemoral joint."}
