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.
What else can I help you with?
Is the patella and tibial tuberosity easy to palpate?
Yes, they are.
What is tibial tuberosity?
The tibial tuberosity is a prominent bony protrusion located on the anterior aspect of the tibia, just below the knee joint. It serves as the attachment point for the patellar ligament, which connects the kneecap (patella) to the tibia. This structure plays a crucial role in the biomechanics of the knee, particularly during activities involving extension of the leg. The tibial tuberosity is also clinically significant, as it can be a site for conditions like Osgood-Schlatter disease, especially in growing adolescents.
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 bilateral patella upper pole and anterior tibial tubercle mild enthesopathy?
Bilateral patella upper pole and anterior tibial tubercle mild enthesopathy refers to a condition where there is mild inflammation or irritation at the attachment points of tendons to the bone in both knees. The upper pole of the patella is where the quadriceps tendon attaches, and the anterior tibial tubercle is where the patellar tendon connects to the shinbone. This condition can result from repetitive stress or overuse, often seen in athletes, and may cause localized pain or discomfort. Treatment typically involves rest, physical therapy, and anti-inflammatory measures.
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.
Point where the patella ligament attaches?
tibial tuberosity
Is the patella and tibial tuberosity easy to palpate?
Yes, they are.
To what bony structure does the patellar ligament attach?
The patella and anterior tbia attach to the patellar ligament.
Point where the patellar ligament attaches?
The patellar ligament attaches to the tibial tuberosity, which is a bony prominence on the anterior aspect of the tibia. It is the distal portion of the quadriceps tendon, which extends from the quadriceps muscle over the patella and then becomes the patellar ligament when it attaches to the tibial tuberosity.
What is the insertion point of the quadricep?
The insertion point of the quadriceps is the patella, through the patellar tendon, which then attaches to the tibia bone below the knee joint.
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 two structures does the pateller ligament connect?
The patellar ligament connects the patella (kneecap) to the tibial tuberosity, which is a bony prominence on the tibia bone below the knee joint. This ligament is an extension of the quadriceps tendon and plays a crucial role in knee extension and stability.
What landmarks would you use to measure a femur and tibia?
The femur extends from the hip to the patella. So measure from your hip to the knee. The tibia extends from the patella to the ankle. So measure from the knee to the "ankle bone".
