Assignment :All students should able to describe the Type of
Trochlear dysplasia and their radiological findings
• Trochlear groove consists of a shallow depression
5–6 mm
• Bound by the medial and the lateral femoral
articular surfaces
• Prominent lateral surface of trochlear groove
projects anteriorly
• Variation in the structural anatomy of the trochlear
groove predispose to maltracking
INTRODUCTION

Skyline view
• The normal shape of the trochlear groove is concave
• This allows the patella to glide down the central
aspect of the distal femur
• This is important because the patella serves as a
fulcrum to increase the overall strength and
efficiency of the quadriceps muscles of the thigh
NORMALY
CONCAVE IN
SHAPE
• The MPFL acts as the major restraint to lateral
patellar translation from full extension through the
first 20°–70° of knee flexion
• The trochlea serves as the main restraint throughout
the flexion
• A shallow trochlea is said to be dysplastic if the
sulcus angle, taken on an axial radiograph with the
knee flexed to 30°, is greater than 145°

• Trochlear dysplasia is one of the major anatomical
cause for recurrent patellar dislocation
• It has been reported to be present in 85–96% of
patients with a patellar dislocation events
Dejour identified multiple radiographic
parameters that are present in Trochlear dysplasia as
a predisposing factors
(1)Trochlear depth < 4 mm or < 3 mm on MRI
(2) Patellar tilt > 20°
(3) Spur height > 5 mm
(4) Trochlear angle > 145°

Dejour Classification of Trochlear
Dysplasia
Type A: Crossing sign / trochlea is shallower than
normal/ but still symmetric and concave.
Reff: The sulcus deepening trochleoplasty—the Lyon’s procedure, Int Orthop 34:311, 2010.)
CROSSING SIGN
• when the line of the Trochlear groove crosses the
anterior border of one of the condyle
Type B: Crossing sign + trochlear spur/ trochlea is flat
or convex in axial images.
Reff: The sulcus deepening trochleoplasty—the Lyon’s procedure, Int Orthop 34:311, 2010.)
Type C: Crossing sign + double-contour sign
representing sclerosis of the subchondral bone of the
medial hypoplastic facet/ lateral facet is convex
Reff: The sulcus deepening trochleoplasty—the Lyon’s procedure, Int Orthop 34:311, 2010.)
DOUBLE CONTOUR SIGN
• A double line at the anterior aspect of condyles that
occurs if the medial femoral condyle is hypoplastic
Type D: Combination of all signs—crossing sign,
supratrochlear spur, and double contour
Sign+ cliff pattern-in axial view

• Trochlear dysplasia: Crossing sign
• Sulcus angle >145 degrees
• MPFL reconstruction
• Trochleoplasty

SUMMARY
• Trochlear dysplasia is one of the main cause for
recurrent patellar dislocation
• TD accounts for around 95% of recurrent patellar
dislocation
• Normal sulcus angle 137 0 ± 6 0
• Normal congruence angle -6 0
• Normal trochlear depth 1cm
• DEJOUR classification for trochlear dysplasia
• Type A-crossing sign, B-spur , C-double contour sign,
D-ciff
• Treatment –Dejour trochleoplasty + immediate
passive mobilization

Double contour sign
