An avulsion fracture of the tibial tuberosity is an infrequent injury and has an extremely low occurrence in adults, with only a few cases reported in literature. We describe a case of a patient with undiagnosed Paget's Disease of the bone, sustaining a pathological avulsion fracture of the ...

Ogden classified tibial tuberosity fracture modifying the more commonly used Watson-Jones classification [3, 4]. Bipartite patella is a well-known osseous variant. Saupe in 1943 described three types of bipartite patella: type I at the inferior pole (5%), type II at the lateral margin (20%)...
Anteromedialization of the tibial tuberosity is commonly performed to treat patellofemoral pain related to lateral malalignment. The tibial tuberosity is anteriorized and medialized to decrease the joint reaction force and unload lateral cartilage, respectively. The current hypothesis is that tibial ...
Patellar dislocation, subluxation, chondromalacia and patello-femoral arthritis are common knee disorders in young adults, and are usually associated with considerable malalignment of the patello-femoral joint 3, 4, 7, 8, 16, 18, 20. Anteromedial displacement of the tibial tuberosity is considered...
After anesthesia, the knee was positioned in a semi-extended position (approximately 15°-30° flexion). A 3–5 cm incision was made 1 cm below the midpoint of the lateral edge of the patella along the lateral side of the patellar ligament to the tibial tuberosity. The patella was ...
The peak extension torques were markedly lower thanin the non-diseased knee and in a reference group of healthy volunteers. Twenty months after advancement of the tibial tuberosity,the muscle strength was significantly increased and pain significantly alleviated, well parallelling the clinical improvement...
Orthopedic surgeons practice partial fibulectomy based on the clinical manifestation of nonuniform settlement, and this technique has been shown to reduce pain and improve function in patients with medial compartment KOA. However, this hypothesis of the mechanism of nonuniform settlement lacks an ...
H. Welsch2, G. Schoen3, M. G. Kaul1, G. Adam1, P. Bannas1 & F. O. Henes1 The tibial tuberosity–trochlear groove (TT–TG) distance is a radiographic measurement that is used to quantify malalignment of the patellofemoral joint (PFJ) in cross-sectional ...
