Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A lateralized tibial tubercle is one potential cause of patellar instability. The tibial tubercle-trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance using CT is a reliable measure and considered the gold standard. Using MRI for this purpose has increased, although the reliability of doing so is not well studied. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES: We sought to (1) determine variability in the insertion of the patellar tendon relative...
