Effect of Tibial Tuberosity Advancement on the Contact Mechanics and the Alignment of the Patellofemoral and Femorotibial Joints

Objective To evaluate the effect of tibial tuberosity advancement ( TTA ) on patellofemoral ( PF ) contact mechanics, and alignment of the PF and femorotibial ( FT ) joints in cranial cruciate ligament ( CrCL )‐deficient stifles of dogs. Study Design Ex vivo biomechanical study. Animals Unpaired cadaveric hind limbs (n=9). Methods Digital pressure sensors placed in the PF joint were used to measure contact force, contact area, peak and mean...
