The Influence of Tibial Tuberosity-trochlear Groove Distance on Development of Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome
Background: Tibial tuberosity-trochlear groove distance (TT-TGD) measurements play a decisive role in evaluatingpatellofemoral joint disorders. However, the prevalence of pathological TT-TGD among patients with patellofemoralpain remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to compare the size of TT-TGD among patients with patellofemoralpain syndrome (PFPS) and those with no history of patell...
متن کاملTibial tuberosity-trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance is a measure of lateralization of the tibial tuberosity in relation
measure of lateralization of the tibial tuberosity in relation to femoral trochlea. Many studies have confirmed that lateralization of the tuberosity is linked to patellar instability, thus TT-TG is an important parameter for evaluation of patellofemoral disorders. However, the degree of lateralization that may contribute to actual dislocation varies among studies. Alemparte et al. studied heal...
متن کاملValue of the tibial tuberosity-trochlear groove distance in patellar instability in the young athlete.
BACKGROUND A lateralized tibial tubercle may be a relevant anatomic factor in patients with patellar instability and can be used as an indication for a distal realignment procedure. However, parameter values for the tibial tuberosity-trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance in the young patient have not been defined. It also remains to be determined how this parameter contributes to patellar instabili...
متن کاملOutcome of surgery for recurrent patellar dislocation based on the distance of the tibial tuberosity to the trochlear groove.
We evaluated the outcome in a series of patients with recurrent patellar dislocation who had either medial transfer of the tibial tuberosity and lateral release or an isolated lateral release as the primary treatment. The decision to use one or other procedure was based on a pre-operative distance between the tibial tuberosity to the trochlear groove (TTTG) of less than 10 mm to include the tib...
متن کاملPatellar instability in Indian population: relevance of tibial tuberosity and trochlear groove distance
INTRODUCTION The tibial tuberosity to trochlear groove (TTTG) distance in the western population is extensively studied through various modalities such as X-rays, computerised tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. However, to our knowledge there is very little or no literature support to indicate that TTTG distance has been studied in the Indian population. METHODS We therefore undertook...
