📌 Tibial Tubercle Lateralization
- Tibial tubercle lateralization is a factor in patellar maltracking. It is measured using TT-TG (Tibial Tubercle to Trochlear Groove) and TT-PCL (Tibial Tubercle to Posterior Cruciate Ligament).
1️⃣ TT-TG:
- Definition: Distance between the tibial tubercle and the trochlear groove.
- Normal vs. Abnormal: >20 mm is abnormal.
- Factors: Knee flexion and alignment influence the measurement. Slight knee flexion can reduce it by 1-2 mm.
2️⃣ TT-PCL:
- Definition: Distance between the tibial tubercle and the posterior cruciate ligament.
- Normal vs. Abnormal: >21-24 mm is abnormal.
- Consideration: This may not always reflect true lateralization due to femoral rotation and knee flexion.
3️⃣ Transverse Offset:
- Definition: Assesses tibial tubercle position relative to the lateral trochlear ridge on axial MR images.
- Evaluation: Determines if the tibial tubercle is medial (normal, on track) or lateral (abnormal, off track) to the ridge.
- Relevance: Important for recurrent patellar instability assessment.
✅ Clinical Implications:
- Accurate measurement is essential for diagnosing and treating patellofemoral instability.
- TT-TG is more commonly used and provides critical information for surgical decisions.
