High‐grade trochlear dysplasia increases patellofemoral joint pressure and decreases the knee extension torque, and tibial tubercle anteriorisation does not correct these effects: Biomechanical study in vitro
An anteriorised trochlea elevated PFJ contact pressure, reduced KET and altered patellar position during knee flexion/extension movement, while a tibial tubercle anteriorisation had a negligible opposite effect. These findings indicate that symptoms associated with high grade trochlear dysplasia may be addressed better at the trochlea, rather than at the tibial tubercle.
