Key Points

Tibial tubercle-trochlear groove distance shows no significant correlation with patellar tendon length among patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
Assessment of anatomical parameters evaluates whether tibial tubercle alignment relates directly to patellar tendon length following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
Highlights that patellar tendon length varies independently of the trochlear groove position, which may assist graft selection during anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
