Has anyone had a Tibial Tuberosity Transfer or Patella Realignment?
Maz24
Yes, I've had both. I'd recommend asking about different physical therapy techniques before resorting to this. After many many surgeries to correct a patella mal-alignment, I learned it could have all been fixed by just strengthening my hip external rotators (instead of the thousands of straight-leg raises which do nothing)
If you must do surgery, then also consider a trochleoplasty in addition to the TTT. Most people with your problem lack a deep enough femoral groove, which is the real root of why the patella mal-tracks and slides around.

Is the patella and tibial tuberosity easy to palpate?
Yes, they are.
Which muscle originates at the anterior superior iliac spine and inserts near tibial tuberosity?
The quadriceps are a group of muscles on the front of your thighs., There are four distinct muscles that make up the quadriceps muscles.These muscles are called the vastus intermedius, the vastus medialis, the vastus lateralis, and the rectus femoris. The quadriceps are also known simply as the quads.The group inserts on the tibial tuberosity (a knot below the patella).Since the quadriceps extend over the kneecap (patella), they also help to keep your kneecap in its proper position in a groove in the end of your thigh bone.
What is the ridge on the tibia head called?
The ridge on the tibia head is called the tibial tuberosity. It is a bony prominence on the anterior surface of the tibia where the patellar ligament attaches.
Three veins serving the leg?
anterior tibial, femoral, posterior tibialfemoral, posterior tibial, anterior tibial
What does Tibial nerve do?
Tibial nerves main function is to plantar flex and invert the foot
Is the patella and tibial tuberosity easy to palpate?
Yes, they are.
Point where the patella ligament attaches?
tibial tuberosity
To what bony structure does the patellar ligament attach?
The patella and anterior tbia attach to the patellar ligament.
What is the insertion point of the quadricep?
patella and medial surface of tibia
Point where the patellar ligament attaches?
TIBIAL TUBEROSITY
What muscle inserts into the patella and the tibial tuberous?
none do directly, but the quadriceps (rectus femoris, vastus medialis, vastus lateralis and vastus intermedius) do via the patella and patella tendon. anterior tibialis ORIGINATES partly from near the tibial tuberosity hope this helps
What insertion tendon of what group contains a patella?
The quadriceps muscle goes over the patella. The patella is encased in the quadriceps tendon. This tendon inserts on the tibia at the tibial tuberosity. Other muscles from the thigh have tendons which go underneath the patella.
What attaches the quadriceps muscle to the tibial tuberosity?
Ligamentum patellae

What is the insertion of all quadriceps groups?
The quads insert into the tibial tuberosity.
Is the patellar tendon above or below the patella?
it starts above and it connects onto the Tibial Tubercle which is right under the Patella.
What is the origin and insertion of the gluteus maximus?
Origin: the gluteus maximus originates from the posterior inferior surface of the sacrum and coccyx, and the posterior medial surface of the ilium.Insertion: the gluteus maximus inserts into the gluteal tuberosity on the posterior aspect of the femur, and the anterior aspect of the lateral tibial condyle.
