Mid inter-epicondyle trochlea intersection (MIELTI): Proposal of a new index for identifying the deepest part of the trochlea (2019)
Journal Article
Smith, L., Keehan, R., Gill, A., Ahmad, R., & Eldridge, J. (2019). Mid inter-epicondyle trochlea intersection (MIELTI): Proposal of a new index for identifying the deepest part of the trochlea. Knee, 26(6), 1204-1209. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.knee.2019.10.011

Background: Tibial tuberosity trochlear groove distance (TT-TG) is an important radiological measurement in patellofemoral instability (PFI). Where instability is recurrent, a value ≥ 20 mm is considered an indication for tubercle medialisation. Troc...
