Key takeaways:
- Use of 3D and 4D imaging can help surgeons better understand the role of trochlear dysplasia.
- This imaging allows surgeons to make more informed surgical decisions for patients with patellar instability.
In this video, Miho J. Tanaka, MD, PhD, discussed the use of 3D and 4D imaging to better understand the role of trochlear dysplasia for surgical decision-making in patients with patellar instability.
“We’ve found that in a dysplastic trochlea it becomes narrower as we go more proximally, and it also lateralizes as it goes more proximally. The patella can follow the shape of that trochlea,” she said. “[3D and 4D assessment] has given us a lot of information in terms of how we think about dysplasia and its influence on maltracking, as well as instability. I think that in the future it’s going to influence how we perform these trochleoplasty procedures,” Tanaka concluded.
