The Q-Angle of the knee is a measurement of the angle between the quadriceps muscles and the patellar tendon. It provides information about the alignment of the knee. A misaligned knee can easily experience excess wear and tear over time, leading to the development of osteoarthritis among other painful conditions. With this information, we can catch many problems early, allowing us to help a patient with simple treatments to prevent them from developing pain and inflammation.
