Tibial Tubercle Osteotomy (TTO)

When there is recurrent patellar instability, abnormal patellofemoral tracking, increased tibial tuberosity–trochlear groove (TT–TG) distance, patella alta, or local pressure overload, and conservative treatment has limited effect, a specialist can assess whether to consider tibial tuberosity osteot

What is Tibial Tubercle Osteotomy (TTO)?

After confirming patellofemoral joint malalignment or instability and suitability for osteotomy correction, a planned osteotomy is usually performed around the tibial tuberosity under anesthesia, allowing it to be controllably moved to a predetermined direction and distance (e.g., medialization/anteriorization/distalization). Under fluoroscopic guidance during the operation, it is repositioned and fixed with screws or plates, followed by irrigation and suturing. Postoperative monitoring includes pain, swelling, and neurovascular status. Quadriceps training and joint movement are gradually carried out, with the goal of correcting extensor alignment, reducing patellofemoral compression, and promoting bone healing. The above is general health information and not medical advice; specific information is subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
