Offloading Patellofemoral Contact Pressures: A Biomechanical Comparison Between Tibial Tubercle Osteotomy and a Retropatellar Tendon Implant
An implant that allows for offloading patellofemoral contact pressures without the morbidity, complication profile, or postoperative rehabilitation associated with a TTO may aid in the treatment of patellofemoral chondral lesions and retropatellar knee pain.
