A computed tomography cadaveric study of the radiological anatomy of the patella: the size of the patella correlates with bone bridge between tunnels and R angles are introduced for safe tunnel drilling during MPFL reconstruction

Abstract Purpose To measure the safe range of angles during tunnel drilling and map ideal patella tunnel placement with the use of preoperative computed tomography (CT) scan and compare results after medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction using a hardware-free patellar fixation techniq...
