Abstract
This is the case of a 22 years-old female (163 cm in height and 51 kg, BMI 19.2) who came to our office for a second opinion for disabling long-lasting right anterior knee pain (AKP) since the age of 16. It had shown itself resistant to conservative treatment. She also had right patellar instability, but it was not her main complaint. She had previously undergone a bilateral medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction (MPFLr). The proposal made by the previous orthopedic surgeon to solve the problem of her right knee was a Tibial tubercle osteotomy (TTO).
