The Schöttle point is consistently distal to the distal medial femoral physis. The mean minimum distance from the Schöttle point to the physis on the medial cortex is 9.9 mm. The Schöttle point provides a safe and reliable radiographic landmark for pediatric MPFLR, although reaming diameter should be considered.
