Abstract
Patellofemoral joint forces and pressures
were measured in a cadaver model during
intramedullary nailing of the tibia. A significant
increase in contact pressures was found at the
lateral facet of the patellofemoral articulation
using the medial paratendinous approach (P= 0.01)
and at the medial facet when using the trans-patellar
tendon approach (P = 0.001) to the proximal
tibia. Increased contact pressures at the patellofemoral
joint may result in chondral injury, which
in turn may cause anterior knee pain, a common
complication of tibial nailing.
