Anteromedialization of the tibial tuberosity for patellofemoral malalignment
Abstract:
Anteromedialization of the tibial tuberosity is a new and highly effective technique for transferring the tibial tuberosity when anteriorization is desired in addition to medial shift of the patellar tendon insertion. Prompt primary bone healing can be achieved, allowing rapid rehabilitation with substantially improved patellofemoral mechanics. No bone grafting is necessary to achieve anteriorization, although only slight to moderate anteriorization is possible in most cases. Realignment of the patellofemoral mechanism and relief of patellofemoral contact stress can be achieved in one procedure.

Anterior Compartment
The quadriceps femoris, the most visible muscle of the anterior compartment, is integral for leg extension and thigh flexion. It is formed by merging four distinct muscles — the vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius, and rectus femoris. The quadriceps tendon, a shared tendon of the four quadriceps muscles, is affixed to...
