MIDTERM OUTCOMES OF TIBIAL TUBERCLE ANTEROMEDIALISATION (FULKERSON PROCEDURE) FOR PATELLOFEMORAL MALALIGNMENT

Abstract

Objective: Patellofemoral malalignment is a known risk factor for instability, anterior knee pain, chondropathy and arthrosis. Patellofemoral malaligment with a laterally positioned tibial tubercle that results in symptoms of pain and/or instability can be effectively managed with a tibial tubercle osteotomy.
