Three different radiologic methods for assessment of the tibial tuberosity position in relationship to the trochlea groove and posterior cruciate ligament respectively. a TT-TG, tibial tubercle–trochlear groove distance (performed by CT). b TT-PCL, tibial tubercle–posterior cruciate ligament distance (performed by MRI). c TDR-TT-TG, TT-TG distance under three-dimensional reconstruction (performed by 3D-CT reconstruction). TT, tibial tuberosity; TG, trochlear groove; dFCL, dorsal femoral condylar line; dTCL, dorsal tibia condylar line
