Patella Alta and Trochlear Dysplasia as a Determinant of Patellar Tendon Lateralization and Inclination: A Cross-sectional MRI Study in Adolescents With Patellofemoral Instability
Background: Patellofemoral instability (PFI) is traditionally assessed using tibial tubercle–trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance, patellar height indices, and trochlear morphology. However, soft tissue–based measures of patellar tendon orientation may provide complementary insight into patellar containment and extensor m...
