Improper Rehab? Relate the pathology to biomechanics Is there instability? Chondrosis does NOT = pain 1

2 Assigning Pathology to Chondrosis: Diagnosis by Exclusion Articular cartilage is aneural Pain therefore originates from: Soft tissue (Synovium, Capsule, Tendons and Ligaments) Nerves (Local or Remote, e.g., saphenous, neuroma) Bone (Local or Remote, subchondral BML, referred hip) Step Two Why is there a chondral lesion? Distal medial post patellar instability Lateral with chronic patellar subluxation Post Trauma (e.g., superior pole) Osteochondritis dissecans First site of genetically programmed OA Step Three Design a patient/ pathology specific treatment plan: Demand matching concept Treat patients with pain on the basis of the mechanically identifiable factors and associated chondral defects Exclude ill-defined pain, CRPS, debilitation and those exceeding their Scott Dye Envelope of Function 2

3 Importance of Mapping Chondrosis Pidoriano & Fulkerson Classification 1997 Proximal Medial Lateral AMZ best for distal lateral Inferior Pole and Lateral Facet: 87% G/E Medial Facet: 55% G/E Proximal Pole and Diffuse: 20% GE Concomitant Central Trochlear Involvement: All Poor Step Four Applying the Specific Surgery Concomitant Surgeries Lateral lengthening for pathologic tilt and/or chronic patellar subluxation MPFL Reconstruction for recurrent patellar instability Tuberosity osteotomy to improve PF stress (force/ area) 3

4 Tibial Tuberosity Osteotomy TT-TG distance > 20mm BUT DON T STOP THERE It s just a number that is not infallable Assess Femoral/Tibial rotational abnormalities e.g., Increased femoral anteversion: CT (Teitge); MRI (Noyes) to assess hip/knee/ankle rotation Tibial Tuberosity- Trochlear Groove Distance Affect by femoral anteversion, tibial/femoral rotation, knee flexion angle 13 mm nl; > 20 mm abnl: Dejour. KSSTA mm: Pandit. Int Orthop, 2011 CT = MRI: Schoettle. Knee 2006 MRI CT Camp, Levy, Dahm et al AJSM 2013 Varies with remeasurement mean 3.2 mm: Lustiq 2006 PT vs TT varies to 4.2 mm; PT less variable Wilcox 2012 May be altered when alta present; Caton. Int Orth 2010 Tibial Tuberosity-Trochlear Groove Distance Cannot estimate clinically: Shakespeare. Knee, 2005 Q angle and TT-TG poorly coorelate: Cooney. Knee Surg Sport Traum Arthr 2012 Difficult to impossible to measure with dysplasia 4

5 If Marked Dysplasia, There is no TG TT-Posterior Cruciate Ligament Seitlinger et al AJSM 2012 Control 18.4 mm 95% < 24 mm Instability Patients 38% > 24 mm Seitlinger AJSM % with TT-TG > 20 had TT-PCL > 24 mm 43% with TT-TG > 20 had TT-PCL < 24 mm (could these have femoral and/or TF rotation?) Take Away All radiographic assessments need validating per meta-analysis of 27 studies: Smith. Skeletal Rad 2011 Consider whole limb and local anatomy before focusing on tuberosity position as pathological Do NOT make new pathology, e.g., Hauser 5

6 When TTO needed: How Much? Degree of Anterization: Ferrandez 10 mm Clin Ortho 1989 Ferguson 12.5 JBJS 1979 Fulkerson 15 mm AJSM 1990 Medialization Do NOT over-medialize Kuroda et al 2005 Goal to normalize in range of TT-TG mm FEA Patient-Specific Models for TTO: AMZ 20% mean decrease in stress BUT Variable Preop Maquet 15 Maquet 20 AMZ 8/8 AMZ 15/8 AMZ 15/8 Uniform thickness Cohen et al AJSM 2003 Planning Tuberosity Transfer Preop Planning: Knee Specific Steepest slope approx. 60 degrees Applying Trigonometry to a constant elevation of 15mm: 60 degree slope & elevation 15 = 8.7 mm medialization Example of Typical Excessive TT-TG of 22 treated with: 60 degree slope or 8.7 = 13.3 post op TT-TG 6

7 Medialization with Anterization 15mm anteriorization 8.7 medialization 60 degrees AMZ-Indications TT-TG - abnormally elevated and distal lateral chondrosis of the patella without trochlear involvement Very steep AMZ in severe lateral PF compartment overload (excessive lateral compression/ tilt) Straight anterization when TT-TG is within normal limits and the goal is to decrease PF forces (Fulkerson osteotomy modified for straight anterization). AMZ-Contraindications Proximal pole, medial, panpatellar chondrosis or concomitant chondrosis of the trochlea TT-TG within normal limits (Straight anterization is an option in this setting) Pain is not directly related to a biomechanical abnormality that will be reversed by AMZ 7

11 Post Op Radiographs TT Straight Medialization Indications: NOT Indicated for PF Chondrosis treatment Lyon France school of thought: Patellar alta and trochlear dysplasia are the main problems to be addressed for patellar instability Distalization of the tuberosity only US surgeons are divided: patellar instability is treated with good reported results by: TTO alone (medialization +/- distalization) MPFL repair/ reconstruction alone MPFL surgery concomitant with TTO Farr TTM Indications TTO concomitant with MPFL Recon if elevated TT- TG / TT-PCL with goals of: Normalization of the lateral resultant vector to aid in the PF tracking when there is minimal chondrosis (grade 2 or less) To optimize PF contact area when this is static lateral position of the patella 11
