In patients with significant patella alta (Caton Deschamps Index >1.2), tibial tubercle distalization may be considered to improve outcomes. However, despite patellar instability commonly affecting pediatric patients, a distalization osteotomy is not feasible in this patient population due to the presence of open physes ...[more]
