Tibial tubercle osteotomy decreases femorotibial rotation in patients with patellar instability
Tibial Tubercle Osteotomy effectively reduces femorotibial rotation in patients with patellar instability and trochlear dysplasia. This reduction is directly associated with the decrease in tibial tubercle torsion. Therefore, TTO should be considered for patients with increased TT-TG distance and elevated femorotibial rotation to improve patellar stability outcomes.
