Accuracy of tibial tuberosity-trochlear groove distance and tibial tuberosity-posterior cruciate ligament distance in terms of the severity of trochlear dysplasia

Accuracy of tibial tuberosity-trochlear groove distance and tibial tuberosity-posterior cruciate ligament distance in terms of the severity of trochlear dysplasia

Abstract Purpose Increased tibial tubercle-trochlear groove distance (TT-TG) was proposed as one of the main risk factors for patellofemoral instability (PFI). The increased TT-TG distance indicated externalization of the tibial tubercle with the reference of the trochlear groove. However, in the ca...
