Only in limited cases, an additional tibialtuberosity transfer is needed.
2
Operative treatment was thought necessary for all our cases due to tibialtuberosity displacement.
3
Avulsion of the tibialtuberosity is a rarely reported fracture.
4
In two cases, an additional tibialtuberosity transfer was performed, due to insufficient per-operative correction.
5
Surgical treatment of habitual patella dislocation with medialisation of the tibialtuberosity led to an excellent clinical outcome.
6
Even in case of a multilayered patella in MED, habitual patella dislocation could be managed successfully by medialisation of the tibialtuberosity.
7
Surgical techniques based on tibial osteotomies such as tibial plateau leveling osteotomy and tibialtuberosity advancement are used to eliminate dynamic thrust.
8
CT revealed a pathological lateralization of the tibialtuberosity-trochlear groove greater than 15 mm in 41 knees.
9
In a prospective study we performed a subtle transfer of the tibialtuberosity according to the information gained from the pre-operative CT scan.
