In this video, Dr. Seth Sherman discusses various indications and considerations for tibial tubercle osteotomies (TTOs) in the treatment of patellofemoral malalignment and instability. He emphasizes the importance of accurate measurements and individualized treatment based on specific pathologies. Dr. Sherman highlights the use of TTOs for unloading cartilage defects, correcting severe patella alta, and addressing instability. He also mentions the role of other measurements such as TT-PCL and the significance of collaboration and advanced imaging in obtaining optimal results. Dr. Sherman concludes by discussing the rehabilitative process and potential complications associated with TTOs.
