Validity of the 2-Image Lateral Trochlear Inclination to Determine Patellar Instability Due to Trochlear Dysplasia
Utilizing the 2-image LTI measurement technique, a threshold value of 13.7° was determined as optimal for discerning between patients with and without trochlear dysplasia that is likely to lead to recurrent PI. This value can thus be used for accurate diagnoses of trochlear dysplasia, which can help to inform management, patient counseling, and research in the future.
