Risk of vascular injury when screw drilling for tibial tuberosity transfer
2018
Purpose
During tibial tubercle transfer, popliteal vessels are at risk from drills and screws. The risk is around 0.11%, as described in the literature. We reviewed knee injected CT scan for analysis of the location of arteries, identified landmarks allowing minimizing risks, and defined a safe zone.
