MRI evaluation of knee alignment in patellofemoral osteo-arthritis (PFOA) currently relies on closed bore magnetic resonanceimaging (MRI) where participants are in supine and non-weight bear-ing. Since alignment may be strongly influenced by pain provocation/avoidance, loading strategies or muscle activity in weight-bearing, openMRI affords the opportunity to gather potentially important newinformation of key modifiable alignment measures.
