Background:Tibial tubercle osteotomy (TTO) is a well-established surgical treatment option for patellofemoral instability and pain. TTO with distalization (TTO-D) is indicated for patients with patellofemoral instability, patellar malalignment, and patella alta. The current literature demonstrates several complications that may be associated with TTO, with reportedly higher rates of complications associated with TTO-D.Purpose:To analyze and compare complication rates after TTO without distalization (TTO-ND) and TTO-D and assess risk factors associated with complications.Study Design:Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3.Methods:All skeletally mature patients who underwent TTO with or without distalization by a single surgeon between September 2014 and May 2023 with a minimum of 6 months of clinical follow-up were retrospectively reviewed. Patient factors, surgical indications, perioperative data, and complications were collected via a retrospective review of electronic medical records. Concomitant procedures were categorized as intra-articular, extra-articular, and osteotomies.Results:A total of 251 TTOs (117 TTO-D, 134 TTO-ND) were included in the study group. Postoperative complications were observed in 15 operations (6%), with arthrofibrosis as the most common complication (10 operations [4%]). TTO-D and TTO-ND had similar rates of complication (5% vs 7%; P = .793). Clinical nonunion was observed in 3 operations (3%) in the TTO-D cohort and 1 operation (1%) in the TTO-ND cohort. In the TTO-D cohort, concomitant intra-articular procedures were significantly associated with an increased likelihood of complications in a univariate model. In the TTO-ND cohort, an increased tourniquet time was significantly associated with an increased likelihood of complications in a univariate model. For all TTOs as well as the TTO-D and TTO-ND cohorts, there were no significant associations between patient or surgical variables in a multivariate model.Conclusion:TTO with and without distalization is a safe procedure with low rates of complication. TTO-D was not associated with a higher rate of complications compared with TTO-ND. There was no association between complications and surgical variables for TTO procedures.
