Tibial Tubercle to Trochlear Groove Distance and Index in Children with One-Time versus Recurrent Patellar Dislocation: A Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study

Tibial tubercle to trochlear groove distance and index in children with one-time versus recurrent patellar dislocation: a magnetic resonance imaging study.

PURPOSE To compare the tibial tubercle to trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance and index using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) between children with onetime and recurrent patellar dislocation. METHODS Records of first-time acute patellar dislocations from 2007 to 2012 were reviewed. 20 males and 23 females aged 10 to 17 years at presentation were included for measurements of the bony and cartil...

Outcome 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...

Systematic technique-dependent differences in CT versus MRI measurement of the tibial tubercle-trochlear groove distance.

BACKGROUND The tibial tubercle-trochlear groove (TTTG) distance is used to quantify the degree of lateralization of the patellar tendon insertion on the tibial tubercle relative to the deepest part of the trochlear groove. Disagreement exists as to whether the TTTG distance measured on computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be considered equivalent. PURPOSE To compa...
