How Tibial Tubercle Osteotomy (TTO: Medialization/Distalization) is performed
Osteotomy is performed in the tibial tubercle area according to the plan, often with the aid of fluoroscopy or guiding tools, to shift the bone block medially/inferiorly or anteromedially, and fixed with screws or plates to improve the patellar trajectory and force distribution. MPFL reconstruction or soft tissue treatment may be combined if necessary. Postoperative monitoring includes incision, pain, and X-ray alignment, and weight-bearing and flexion-extension training are gradually advanced. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details depend on specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
