Evaluating the Impact of Tibial Tubercle Osteotomy in Adult Patients on Patellar Height and Patellar Tendon Length
While changes were observed in approximately 50% of patients, there were no statistically significant, nor predictable, alterations in PH after TTO using the BPI, CDI, ISR, or PL measurements at a minimum 6-month follow-up. Further large-scale studies are needed to determine the reliability of these PH findings and whether the changes are clinically impactful on surgeon decision-making and patient outcomes.
