Trochlear Dysplasia: A Developmental Cause of Patellar Instability

Eurorad teaching case highlights trochlear dysplasia as a developmental cause of patellar instability, with key MRI findings of a shallow trochlear groove. A must-know for MSK imaging.

• Teaching case from Eurorad (ESR) demonstrates imaging features of trochlear dysplasia, a common anatomical risk factor for recurrent lateral patellar dislocation.
• Intended for radiologists and trainees; focuses on recognizing a shallow trochlear groove and associated patellar alta on MRI.
• Single-case illustration, not a formal study; serves as a visual educational reference.
