The Influence of Tibial Tuberosity-trochlear Groove Distance on Development of Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome
Authors
Abstract:
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 patellofemoral pain.Methods: A total of 100 cases participated in this case-control study, among whom 53 individuals were in the casegroup and 47 individuals were in the control group. TT-TGD was measured by magnetic resonance imaging.Results: The mean TT-TGD was 12.3±3.3 in patients and 9.3±2.4 in controls (P

Tibial 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...
full textValue 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...
full textPatellar 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...
full textMeasurement of Tibial Tuberosity–Trochlear Groove Offset Distance by Weightbearing Cone-Beam Computed Tomography Scan
Background Computed tomography (CT) scans are useful for objectively measuring bone alignment because they show bone detail particularly well, and these scans have been used extensively to assess patellar orientation. The tibial tubercle-trochlear groove (TT-TG) offset distance has been shown to be influenced by knee flexion and weightbearing, yet conventional CT scans are obtained with the sub...

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. ...
