How do Different Sporting Activities Affect Bone Patella Volume?: A Descriptive Pilot Study
The aim of this study was to compare the patella bone volume of sedentary men with that of elite male sportspeople, including judoka, cyclists, weightlifters, and taekwondo athletes who were members of Turkish National Professional Teams. All subjects had no history or clinical signs of an orthopaed...
