Résumé
The relationship between functional femoral antetorsion, the greater trochanter (GT) position and anatomical antetorsion has been demonstrated in patients with a primary hip pathology. However, the functional antetorsion and GT position have not been analyzed in patellofemoral dysplastic knees. The aim of this study was to develop a three-dimensional (3D) measurement to quantify the functional femoral antetorsion and position of the GT and to analyze these measurements in a cohort of high-grade patellofemoral dysplastic knees. A 3D measurement was developed to analyze functional antetorsion and the axial position of the GT and assessed in 100 cadaveric femora. For validity and repeatability testing, inter- and intra-observer reliability were determined using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs). These measurements were then evaluated in a cohort of 19 high-grade patellofemoral dysplastic knees (Dejour type C, D). The relationship between anatomical antetorsion, functional antetorsion and GT position were reported. Inter- and intra-reader reliability for 3D functional antetorsion and axial position of the GT demonstrated a minimum ICC of 0.96 (P < 0.001). Anatomical and functional antetorsion demonstrated a highly linear relationship (R In high-grade patellofemoral dysplastic knees, the GT is located more anteriorly, relative to the femoral neck axis, with increasing anatomical antetorsion and correction osteotomy may result in an excessively anterior position of the GT.

BACKGROUND
The relationship between functional femoral antetorsion, the greater trochanter (GT) position and anatomical antetorsion has been demonstrated in patients with a primary hip pathology. However, the functional antetorsion and GT position have not been analyzed in patellofemoral dysplastic knees. The aim of this study was to develop a three-dimensional (3D) measurement to quantify the functional femoral antetorsion and position of the GT and to analyze these measurements in a cohort of high-grade patellofemoral dysplastic knees.

METHODS
A 3D measurement was developed to analyze functional antetorsion and the axial position of the GT and assessed in 100 cadaveric femora. For validity and repeatability testing, inter- and intra-observer reliability were determined using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs). These measurements were then evaluated in a cohort of 19 high-grade patellofemoral dysplastic knees (Dejour type C, D). The relationship between anatomical antetorsion, functional antetorsion and GT position were reported.

CONCLUSION
CONCLUSIONS
In high-grade patellofemoral dysplastic knees, the GT is located more anteriorly, relative to the femoral neck axis, with increasing anatomical antetorsion and correction osteotomy may result in an excessively anterior position of the GT.
