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...
متن کاملThe 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 کاملInfluence of the image levels of distal femur on the measurement of tibial tubercle-trochlear groove distance—a comparative study
BACKGROUND The purpose of the present study was to determine whether the image levels of the distal femur affected the measurement of the tibial tubercle-trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance. METHODS Thirty sets of computer tomography (CT) images and 30 sets of MR images of the knee were evaluated. The TT-TG distance was quantified at multiple image levels in 1.5-mm increments, covering the prox...
متن کاملLetter to the Editor: Ligament Reconstruction Versus Distal Realignment for Patellar Dislocation
To the Editor: I read with interest the paper by Sillanpàà et al. [1] entitled ‘‘Ligament Reconstruction Versus Distal Realignment for Patellar Dislocation’’ published in the June 2008 issue. I congratulate the authors on their study, for the longterm followup and for the comparative study with distal realignment. However, I ask for clarification of two issues. First, what are the indications f...
متن کاملTibial Tuberosity-Trochlear Groove Distance Shows no Change in Patients with or Without Knee Osteoarthritis.
Objective The primary aim of this study is to compare tibial tuberosity-trochlear groove (TTTG) distance in patients with or without knee osteoarthritis. Additionally, the variability of tibial tubercle according to trochlear groove was evaluated. Materials and Methods In this retrospective cohort study, TTTG distance was measured with two different methods on magnetic resonance (MR) images. ...
