Abstract<br />
Fragstellung: The geometry of the tibial plateau and its influence on the biomechanics of the tibiofemoral joint<br />
has gained increased significance. However, No quantitative data are available regarding the inclination of the<br />
medial and lateral tibial slope in patients with lateral patellar instability. Therefore, it was the purpose of this study<br />
to evaluate tibial slope characteristics in patients with patellar dislocations and to assess the biomechanical effect<br />
of medial-to-lateral tibial slope asymmetry on lateral patellar instability.<br />
Methodik: Medial and lateral tibial slope was measured on knee magnetic resonance images in 107 patients and<br />
in 83 controls. The medial-to-lateral tibial slope asymmetry was assessed as the intra-individual difference<br />
between the medial and lateral tibial plateau inclination considering severity of trochlear dysplasia. The effect of<br />
tibial slope asymmetry on femoral rotation was calculated by means of radian measure. The influence of the grade<br />
of trochlear dysplasia onto the medial and lateral tibial slope, and onto age was individually assessed by linear<br />
regression with trochlear dysplasia as independent variable. Gender and patellar dislocation were compared<br />
between the different types of trochlear dysplasia using the Chi²-exact test. The portion of study patients and<br />
controls on the twenty largest slope asymmetries was evaluated by Fisher´s exact test. Differences in slope<br />
asymmetry and in femoral rotation with respect to parameter-values of trochlear dysplasia were evaluated by a<br />
one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Dunnett´s post hoc test.<br />
Ergebnis: Severity of trochlear dysplasia was significantly associated with an asymmetric inclination of the tibial<br />
plateau. Whereas the medial tibial slope showed identical values between controls and study patients (p=0.48),<br />
lateral tibial plateau inclination becomes more flat with increasing severity of trochlear dysplasia (p
