📌  Dejour et al. Classification of Trochlear Dysplasia

1️⃣ Type A

  • Signs: Crossing sign laterally
  • Axial View: Sulcus angle >145° (shallow trochlea)
  • Description: The crossing sign is the only present sign. On axial views, the trochlea is shallower than normal.



2️⃣ Type B

  • Signs: Crossing sign and supratrochlear spur laterally
  • Axial View: Flat or convex trochlea
  • Description: The crossing sign and the supratrochlear spur are present. On axial views, the trochlea is flat.



3️⃣ Type C

  • Signs: Crossing sign and double contour sign laterally
  • Axial View: Asymmetry of femoral condyles with hypoplastic medial condyle
  • Description: The crossing sign and the double contour sign are present, but there is no spur. On axial views, the medial facet is hypoplastic.



4️⃣ Type D

  • Signs: Crossing sign, supratrochlear spur, and double contour sign laterally
  • Axial View: Asymmetry of condyles with cliff pattern
  • Description: Combines the three signs: crossing sign, supratrochlear spur, and double contour. On axial views,  there is a cliff pattern.
