Indications and Technique: Tibial Tubercle Osteotomies

A tibial tubercle osteotomy is a relatively common procedure used to manage patellofemoral joint pathology. Tibial tubercle osteotomies can be performed in patients with focal chondral defects of the patella or trochlea, patellar instability, patellar maltracking, or patellofemoral arthritis.
