Effects of knee flexion and extension on the tibial tuberosity–trochlear groove (TT–TG) distance in adolescents

Effects of knee flexion and extension on the tibial tuberosity–trochlear groove (TT–TG) distance in adolescents

Abstract Background Measurement of the tibial tubercle–trochlear groove (TT–TG) distance is used to assess patellofemoral instability and rotation. Since patellofemoral instability and acute patellar dislocation are common among adolescents, it is important to clarify the relationship between TT–TG...
