Comparison and interobserver reliability of three different methods for measuring the amount of the tibial tuberosity advancement in the preoperative planning of TTAT.

These results are inconsistent with data collected by Bielecki and colleagues. Moreover, measurements from common tangent method and tibial anatomy-based method were overlapping, as confirmed previously. Conversely, Bielecki method showed no agreement with the other methods included in the present study, with a significantly higher mean rank, probably due to its correction formula. Based on the results of the present study, tibial anatomy-based method has better interobserver reliability and is easier to perform according to the observers.
