Influence of Sulcus-Deepening Trochleoplasty on Patellofemoral Cartilage Integrity in Patients With Severe Trochlear Dysplasia at Short-term to Midterm Follow-up: A Case-Control Study
The integrity of the PF chondral layer remained unchanged in most patients treated for patellar instability in the setting of trochlear dysplasia. Yet, significantly more patients who underwent trochleoplasty showed a decline in trochlear chondral status at short-term to midterm follow-up.
