Pathological Threshold of Patellar Tendon-Trochlear Groove Distance Using Magnetic Resonance Image in Patients with Patellar Instability
Individuals with patellar instability have statistically higher measurements of PT-TG when compared with patients without it. Therefore, values higher than 15.5 mm for PT-TG seen in MRI exams represent a pathological lateralization force of the extensor mechanism related to patellar instability.
