Three-Dimensional Trochlear Groove Curvilinearity vs. Tibial Tubercle-Trochlear Groove Distance in Predicting Patellofemoral Instability
Patellofemoral joint stability relies on various factors, with the TT-TG distance commonly used to assess patellar instability risk. However, a study suggests that 3D measurements of trochlear groove curvilinearity may be more effective in differentiating individuals with recurrent patella dislocati
