Excessive tibial tuberosity–trochlear groove distance (TT–TG) is considered as one of the major risk factors in patellofemoral instability (PFI). TT–TG characterises the lateralisation of the tibial tuberosity and the medialisation of the trochlear groove in the case of trochlear dysplasia. The...

The distance between the line through the top of the tibial tubercle (line 3’) perpendicular to line 1 and line 1’ under the overlaid images was defined as tibial tuberosity-trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance. The distance between line 3’ perpendicular to line 2 and line 2’ under the...
The thinner part of the cortex of the tibia and the larger width of the medullar cavity is at 0.5 cm below the tibial tuberosity in the midline of the medial surface. The application region for proximal tibia access and landmark and most suitable insertion point for intraosseous infusion ...
The innovative concepts behind this procedure include moving the entire tibial tuberosity with the patellar tendon, creating a relatively wide and flat bone-to-bone healing surface with primary compressive fixation, and allowing for simultaneous 2-plane correction by means of adjusting the angle of the...
In cattle, 3patellar ligamentsattach thepatellato the tuberosity of the tibia. These ligaments, along with the medial andlateral collateral ligaments, are important landmarks for arthroscopic portal location. The cranial approach is the safest way to enter the joints because there are no neurov...
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether tibial tuberosity–posterior cruciate ligament (TT-PCL) distance is representative of the true lateralization of tibial tuberosity in isolation and its influence on the accuracy of the Akagi line and medial third of the tibial tuberosity (MTTT)....
Specifically for insertion of the patellar tendon and the iliotibial tract, the bony protrusions,tibial tuberosityas well as the tubercle of Gerdy are located within the subcondylar zone. These landmarks are important for preparation of surgical incisions. ...
cover or at least partially protect this interface is the patella which is a sesamoid bone within the tendon of the long muscle (quadriceps) on the front of the thigh. This tendon inserts into the tibial tuberosity and the posterior surface of the patella is smooth and glides over the femur...
