    Trochlear dysplasia (TD) causes anterior knee pain and instability, increasing the risk of dislocation and potentially leading to osteoarthritis.

  • 2

    Current trochleoplasty procedures face challenges due to anatomical variations, often resulting in continued patient pain and dissatisfaction.

  • 3

    Existing diagnostic methods do not provide individualized surgical plans, creating a gap between diagnosis and effective treatment for TD.

  • 4

    The proposed method generates pseudo-healthy MR images to aid in preoperative planning, potentially improving surgical outcomes and reducing invasiveness.

  • 5

    This approach utilizes preoperative MR images, minimizing radiation exposure compared to traditional CT imaging, especially for young patients.
