A tibial tubercle is the bony protrusion found on the front of the tibia. In the arms, there are two prominent tubercles: thegreater tubercleand the lesser tubercle. Both are located on thehumerus, the longest bone in the upper extremity of the body. The greater tubercle, while larger than...
The goal is to improve patellofemoral engagement and prevent further patella dislocations. The recommended procedures include a distalizing tibial tubercle osteotomy and patella tendon tenodesis, which are frequently combined with other procedures to stabilize the patella. Overall, excellent surgical results...
The tibial tuberosity-trochlear groove distance is used as an indicator for medial tibial tubercle transfer; however, to our knowledge, no studies have verified whether this distance is strongly affected by tubercle lateralization at the proximal part of the tibia. We hypothesized that the tibial tub...

What is the surgery for patella alta? Tibial tuberosity osteotomycan be performed in patients with patella alta. With this surgery they move the attachment of the patellar ligament downwards to the tibia. The patella is also attached to this ligament, so the patella moves downwards. ...
This is generally not in contact with the knee capsule and promotes the gliding of the patellar tendon. Infrapatellaris: Bursa at the level of the tibial tuberosity. These bursae may become overactive when the knee is inflamed. What causes patellofemoral pain syndrome? Also called runner’s...
What is the quadriceps femoris? Skeletal Muscles: The skeletal muscles are attached to the bones of the skeleton. For example, the muscles that move the leg are generally attached to either the fibula or the tibia. Furthermore, the muscles of the leg generally either extend the knee or flex...
is an avulsion of the tibial tuberosity, the small swelling on thetibiabone felt just below the kneecap. A sudden and violent extension or straightening of theknee jointcan cause the patellarligament, which connects thepatellaor kneecap to the tibial tuberosity, to pull so hard away from the...
