Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Biomechanical Engineering

Background:

  • Tibial tuberosity transfer is a standard surgical procedure for patellar instability and anterior knee pain.
  • Common complications include prominent hardware, nonunion, delayed union, and tibial fractures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a modified tibial tuberosity transfer technique utilizing two 4-mm cannulated screws.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and complication rates of this technique in treating patellar instability.

Main Methods:

  • A technique involving tibial tuberosity transfer stabilized with two 4-mm cannulated screws was employed.
  • The procedure was performed either as an isolated transfer or combined with medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction.
  • Focus on preserving soft-tissue attachments and minimizing dissection.

Main Results:

  • No cases of wound problems, nonunion, delayed union, or loss of fixation were observed.
  • Only one patient (out of the study cohort) required hardware removal due to a metalwork issue.
  • The technique facilitated rapid bony consolidation and accelerated rehabilitation.

Conclusions:

  • The described technique using 4-mm cannulated screws offers a safe and effective method for tibial tuberosity transfer.
  • Preservation of soft tissues and meticulous surgical technique contribute to favorable outcomes and reduced complications.
  • This approach minimizes hardware-related problems and promotes faster patient recovery.
