Discrepancy between true distance of tibial tuberosity advancement and cage size: An ex vivo study

Objective To determine the discrepancy between true distance of tibial tuberosity advancement (tTTA) and the most commonly used cages. The null hypothesis was that tTTA would be within 1.5 mm difference of the cage size. Study design Ex vivo study. Sample population Eight foam cortical shell specime...

Description
Summary:Objective To determine the discrepancy between true distance of tibial tuberosity advancement (tTTA) and the most commonly used cages. The null hypothesis was that tTTA would be within 1.5 mm difference of the cage size. Study design Ex vivo study. Sample population Eight foam cortical shell specimens modeled from canine tibias. Methods Modified tibial tuberosity advancement (TTA) was performed to allow repeated measurement of the tTTA. The Pearson correlation test was used to evaluate the relationships of tTTA and cage sizes (P
