2017年4月12日 · Strauss performs a tibial tubercle osteotomy using the T3 AMZ System combined with a medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction.</p>

The comprehensive T3 AMZ System is designed to achieve precise cutting angles during tibial tuberosity AMZ osteotomy procedures to accurately realign the extensor mechanisms and unload the patellofemoral joint.

The T3 AMZ system is a comprehensive set of instruments designed to achieve precise cutting angles dur-ing tibial tuberosity anteromedialization (AMZ) osteotomy procedures to accurately realign the extensor mechanism and unload the patellofemoral joint.

2023年12月1日 · Most common is the anteromedializing (AMZ) TTO, which has been a workhorse procedure for realigning extensor mechanism tracking. The patella can also be distalized, which becomes indicated when pathological patella alta is present.

Tibial tubercle transfer (TTT), also known as tibial tubercle osteotomy (TTO), or Fulkerson osteotomy, is a surgical procedure that is performed to correct lateral displacement of the tibial tubercle. The goal of the surgery is to improve patellar tracking and stability, alleviate pain, and take pressure off of the cartilage.

2023年3月1日 · The type of TTO indicated to unload the PFJ and combat chondral defects depends on the patient's specific pathoanatomy and location of the chondral defects. Isolated anteriorization, anteriorization with distalization, and AMZ with or …

2021年3月3日 · An anteromedialization (AMZ) TTO is commonly performed for patellofemoral disorders and indicated for distal and lateral patellar lesions.

2019年12月1日 · Anteromedialization (AMZ) is most frequently used when there is an excessive TT-TG/TT-PCL, while straight anteriorization is used if these measurements are near “normal.” Likewise, for those patients with isolated distal lateral lesions not undergoing cartilage restoration, Fulkerson and Pidoriano demonstrated excellent outcomes with AMZ TTO.

Increased lateralization of the tibial tubercle is associated with an increased tibial tubercle–to–trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance, tibial tubercle–to–posterior cruciate ligament distance, and Q-angle measurements on imaging, as well as increases in lateral patellar tracking and patellofemoral joint contact forces on physical examination. 7 Th...

Purpose: To evaluate the ability of patients to return to work following anteromedialization (AMZ) tibial tubercle osteotomy (TTO) due to isolated patellofemoral osteoarthritis or pain. Methods: Consecutive patients undergoing AMZ TTO were reviewed retrospectively at a …
