A Novel Trochlear Dysplasia Model in Immature Rats via Targeted Injury of the Anterior Distal Femoral Epiphysis.

Key Points

• This research aims to establish a model to explore trochlear dysplasia and its underlying mechanisms.
• Developed a targeted injury model in the anterior distal femoral epiphysis of immature rats.
• Utilized specific techniques to replicate trochlear dysplasia features.
• Assessed the model's effectiveness for future therapeutic investigations.
• Demonstrated a successful induction of trochlear dysplasia in the immature rat model.
• Provided insights into the basic mechanisms associated with trochlear dysplasia.
