This research study uses a special type of imaging called weight-bearing CT (computed tomography) to take detailed pictures of your knee joint while you're standing. Researchers want to understand how the shape and positioning of your kneecap joint relates to the knee pain you're experiencing, so doctors can develop better, more targeted treatments in the future.
Knee pain around the kneecap (patella) is very common, but doctors don't yet fully understand how the structure and alignment of the joint itself causes symptoms. By studying these relationships, this research aims to help doctors identify the root causes of your pain and create treatments that work better for each person.

You would come in for imaging visits where you'll stand on a special CT scanner that takes detailed 3D pictures of your knee at different angles while bearing your weight naturally. The study involves 36 participants total, and your participation would help researchers understand how knee joint structure connects to the pain symptoms you experience.
