Increased Tibial Tubercle–Trochlear Groove Distance and Sulcus Angle Are Associated With Patellar Osteochondritis Dissecans in Pediatric Patients
An increased TT-TG distance and sulcus angle were associated with patellar OCD in pediatric patients. Patients with abnormal patellofemoral morphology who undergo treatment for a patellar OCD lesion may subsequently develop a patellar dislocation; in this study, patients with patellar OCD without a history of patellar dislocations demonstrated a nearly 4-fold higher dislocation rate compared with an age- and sex-matched group of patients with MFC OCD.
