The Morphologic Patella Entry Point Into The Proximal Trochlea Is More Lateral in Recurrent Dislocators Than Controls as Measured by Entry Point-Trochlear Groove Angle

The purpose of this work is to create a metric for evaluating the degree of laterality of the patella ’s entry into the trochlea, the entry point-trochlear groove (EP-TG) angle, and to evaluate if this laterality is associated with recurrent patella instability.
