Trochlear shape matters. After a lateral patellar dislocation:
• Normal trochlea → lower recurrence risk (≈5–15%)
• #Trochlear #dysplasia → significantly higher recurrence risk (≈30–50%)
A flatter groove provides less bony stability for the kneecap. https://t.co/laUnmHtz2o
#Trochleoplasty is rarely needed, but essential for patients with type B or D #trochlear #dysplasia. A flat or dome-shaped trochlea can lead to significant patellofemoral instability and this surgery helps restore stability. https://t.co/YK8a6N1FUF
Why does your #kneecap keep popping out?
🔹 5–15% risk with a normal groove
🔸 30–50% with trochlear dysplasia
#Trochlear shape matters—and Dr. LaPrade’s team can help evaluate it properly. https://t.co/ZApbyQFsEi #dysplasia
Knee Fact of the Day! In adolescents, #trochlear #dysplasia can increase the risk of lateral kneecap dislocations to as much as 50%—a sharp rise from the 5-15% risk in those with normal geometry. https://t.co/YYJA4jPdSF #kneedislocation #sportsmedicine #trochleardysplasia
Patients with high-grade #trochlear dysplasia (TD) show not only abnormal values in common #patellofemoral instability risk factors but also a significantly increased sagittal position of the tibial tubercle in relation to the trochlear groove compared with patients without TD.
X-rays can be misleading when it comes to diagnosing #trochlear #dysplasia. MRI scans give a definitive picture of the trochlear groove. Why MRI? It reveals whether the groove is flat or dome-shaped, plus axial MRI cuts provide a more accurate assessment. https://t.co/tr51xXxYrm
Most cases of #trochlear #dysplasia are believed to be genetic. There may be some cases where somebody sustains a kneecap dislocation that is not put back in place when they are young & developmentally the trochlear groove may not form normally, but...https://t.co/Z0JKuSMG0s

For patients with type B or type D #trochlear #dysplasia, #trochleoplasty can be a crucial procedure to stabilize the patellofemoral joint. Find out more about this rare surgery: https://t.co/dnbqWsTFKO #KneeJoint
A #trochleoplasty is a rare procedure that is performed in patients that have type B or type D #trochlear #dysplasia. In these patients, the trochlea can be either flat or dome-shaped, which results in severe instability of the #patellofemoral joint. https://t.co/DD2RHw7aQw

Severe cases of #trochlear #dysplasia are rare, whereas more mild cases where the trochlear groove may be flatter than normal, are not that uncommon. Therefore, it is a relatively common condition, but often does not cause significant problems when...https://t.co/hJcEn2Yt7Y
MRI scans may give a more definitive assessment of the shape of the #trochlear groove compared to plain X-rays because they will show the soft tissue cartilage interface. There are times on X-rays where the trochlear groove may appear...https://t.co/bGVRsYISOv #dysplasia
#Patellofemoral #malalignment can result in patellar displacement and damage to the underlying soft tissue structures of the knee such as:
· Shallow #trochlear groove (#trochleadysplasia)
· Improper tibial tubercle orientation
· Congenital abnormalities

What is the role of #trochlear #dysplasia in patellofemoral instability?
Those who have some form of trochlear dysplasia have a much higher rate of recurrent dislocations, which can be 30% to 50% depending upon how flat their trochlear groove may be: https://t.co/sELb1xI84w
Grateful to have participated in this project by @DrMihoTanaka that studied sex-specific differences in normal thresholds for #trochlear #dysplasia on #MRI measurements! @AJSM_SportsMed
How is #trochlear #dysplasia diagnosed on x-rays?
#TrochlearDysplasia is best diagnosed on both a 45-degree patella sunrise view and also on the lateral x-rays. In addition...https://t.co/9NnAPZTjyN #orthotwitter #kneeexpert #educatethepatient
