Complications After Tibial Tuberosity Osteotomy: Association With Screw Size and Concomitant Distalization

摘要

Background:Tibial tuberosity osteotomy (TTO) is a versatile procedure commonly used to treat patellar instability as well as to unload cartilage lesions. TTO with concomitant distalization (TTO-d) may be performed in patients with patella alta to stabilize the patella by helping it to engage in the trochlea earlier during flexion.
