Diverse Factors Affect Measurement of Patella Alta: Trochlear Morphology and Sagittal Knee Balance Represent Defining Factors of Patellofemoral Stability
Patella alta is a known risk factor for patellar instability,contributes to increased length changes of the medial patellofemoral complex (MPFC), and is associated with high rates of failure of MPFC reconstruction. Distalization through tibial tuberosity osteotomy (TTO) is a surgical option to address patella alta during patellar stabilization surgery. However, distalization has been shown to have greater complications than other types of TTO, and precise indications through proper assessments of patellar height are needed.

At Present, ChatGPT Cannot be Relied Upon to Answer Patient Questions and Requires Physician Expertise to Interpret Answers for Patients
ChatGPT is designed to provide accurate and reliable information to the best of its abilities based on the data input and knowledge available. Thus, ChatGPT is being studied as a patient information tool. This artificial intelligence (AI) tool has been shown to frequently provide technically correct information, but with limitations. ChatGPT provides different answers to similar questions based on the prompts, and patients may not have expertise in prompting ChattPT to elicit a best answer. (Prompting large language models has been shown to be a skill that can improve). (Source: Arthroscopy - Journal of Arthroscopic and Related Surgery)

Comparison of needle and conventional arthroscopy for visualisation of predefined anatomical structures of the knee joint: a feasibility study in human cadavers and patients
In terms of the optics used for Knee arthroscopy, a large number of different endoscopes are currently available. However, the use of the 30 ° optics in knee arthroscopy has been established as the standard pro... (Source: BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders)
