In order to determine the behaviour of bone allografts in the advancement of the tibial tuberosity, we studied retrospectively 134 knees belonging to 119 recipients of frozen bone allograft for the treatment of a symptomatic patellofemoral osteoarthrosis. All patients had a 1.2-1.5 cm tibial tuberosity advancement with a release of the lateral patellar retinacula and no other additional surgery. Total incorporation of grafts took place in 116 cases (86.6%); graft resorption appeared in 16 patients (11.9%)(total resorption 3, and partial resorption 13). No disease transmission has been detected. To avoid donor site morbidity associated with harvesting iliac crest, the use of frozen bone allograft is a good alternative in the advancement of the tibial tuberosity.

Anterior Tibial Tubercle Internal Torsion Osteotomy (ATTITO) in Patient with Patellar Instability.

Anterior tibial tuberosity osteotomy is a well-described therapeutic option for the treatment of patellar instability. External torsion of the anterior tibial tuberosity can be one of several factors that adversely affect the patellofemoral joint and its stability. The Anterior Tibial Tubercle Internal Torsion Osteotomy (ATTITO) allows the correction of excessive external torsion of the tibial tuberosity in a safe and reproducible manner.

Purpose: To propose a new sign of patellar maltracking in recurrent patellar dislocation (RPD) and compare the differences in lower limb rotational and bony structural abnormalities among the different signs.
Patients And Methods: A retrospective study included 279 patients (mean age: 22 years; female: 81%) who underwent primary surgery for RPD over the past 4 years was performed. The patients were grouped based on the characteristics of patellar tracking: low-, moderate- and high-grade J-sign.
Purpose: Tibial rotational deformity is a known risk factor for patellofemoral joint (PFJ) disorders. However, it is commonly associated with other abnormalities which affect the PFJ. The purpose of this study was to describe the prevalence of associated factors known to affect PFJ in patients undergoing rotational tibial osteotomy and their implication for the correction level.

Indication for this hemi-wedge high tibial osteotomy is the combination of medial osteoarthritis or cartilage damage, varus deformity of >10°, and medial proximal tibial angle of <80°. The proximal lateral tibia is exposed via a skin incision of approximately 10 cm length between the tibial tuberosity and the head of the fibula. After detachment of the anterior tibial muscle, a first oblique guidewire marks the main osteotomy plane and a second guidewire marks the hemi-wedge.

Patellar pathologies are a common cause of knee dysfunction, with Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS) alone responsible for 25% of knee-related visits to sports medicine clinics. Non-traumatic conditions, while often overlooked, can also lead to significant discomfort and functional limitations, highlighting the importance of accurate and timely diagnosis for effective management and prevention of complications. This pictorial review examines the radiologic characteristics of various non-traumatic patellar disorders, focusing on imaging modalities such as radiography, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
