All participants noted the capitulum and/or trochlea as an important morphological feature for pair-matching the humerus.
The mnemonic "CRITOE" is particularly helpful in diagnosing this type of elbow fracture, as the avulsed medial epicondyle may mimic the developing trochlea. However, based on "CRI-TOE", one would expect appearance of the medial epicondyle (in normal position) prior to the appearance of the trochlear ossification center (Figure 2).
The TSA (the angle between the medial and lateral facets of the femoral trochlea with the deepest trochlear point) was measured at the level 3 cm above the tibiofemoral joint line on the axial slices (Figure 3).
Twenty-two lesions were also found in this group in the following locations: 8 in the patella, 10 in the trochlea, 1 in the lateral femoral condyle, 2 in the medial femoral condyle, and 1 in the medial tibial plateau [Table 3].
Six cartilage sites (patella, trochlea, medial and lateral femoral condyles, and medial and lateral tibial plateaus) were examined in each patient.
An MRI of the knee showed a grade II patellar chondropathy, a grade IV chondropathy of the femoral trochlea, and a complex lesion of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus and diffuse reactive synovitis.
Treatment outcomes of autologous chondrocyte implantation for full-thickness articular cartilage defects of the trochlea. Am J Sports Med 35, 915-921.
In 8 dogs, the patella and cartilage of the left hind limb were damaged with a surgical drill after exposing the trochlea of the articular surface.
The present case demonstrated a sagittal shearing fracture according to Sneppen et al.'s talar fracture classification, which runs through the body of the talus from the trochlea to the subtalar joint [14].
An MRI study of her right knee ordered by her medical doctor was conducted seven weeks prior to presenting to our clinic and revealed focal severe chondral thinning with deep chondral fissuring and reactive subchondral cystic change over the patellar apex and medial patellar facet with associated full-thickness chondral fissuring over the medial trochlea; moderate chondral thinning and chondral Assuring of articular cartilage in the medial femorotibial compartment; small to moderate-sized knee joint effusion with mild synovitis; no convincing meniscal tear.
Magnetic resonance imaging of the right knee revealed moderate joint effusion with synovial proliferation and loss of cartilage in the patella and trochlea. She was subsequently placed on adalimumab, which was effective for only 3 months before it was discontinued.
Biedert and Warnke, [22] who also measured the position of the patella with computed tomography in patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome, failed to show a significant relationship between the Q-angle and patellar positioning within the femoral trochlea.
According to the company, all three Episealer knee implants, namely Episealer Condyle Solo, Episealer Trochlea Solo and Episealer Femoral Twin, are included and evaluated in this study.
The latex was injected into the joint capsule at the space between the plantar ligament and the trochlea, dorsomedial to the ligament.
