What is Lateral Femoral Trochlea Flap Reconstruction of the Proximal Capitate: An Assessment of Congruity and Description of Technique about?

## Purpose: We examined morphologic similarities of the medial lateral femoral trochlea (mft) and lateral femoral trochlea (lft) osteochondral flaps for reconstruction of the proximal capitate. ## Methods: Magnetic resonance imaging scans of the wrists and ipsilateral knees of 10 young healthy volunteers were obtained. three morphologic parameters were investigated, comparing the mft and lft harvest sites to the capitate proximal pole. the correspondingly relevant surgical planes were compared. the coronal plane radius of curvature (roc) of the capitate was compared with the sagittal planes of the mft and lft. the sagittal plane roc of the capitate was compared to the axial planes of the mft and lft. the angular relationship between the dorsal cortical surface of the capitate and the proximal pole cartilage (proximal dorsal capitate pitch) was compared to the corresponding angles between the cortical bone and convex cartilage on the lft and mft. ## Results: The average ratios of roc for the coronal planes of the capitate to the mft (0.61) and lft (0.58) were similar. the average ratios of roc for the sagittal planes of the capitate to the mft (0.57) and lft (0.86) were also similar
