From: A computed tomography cadaveric study of the radiological anatomy of the patella: the size of the patella correlates with bone bridge between tunnels and R angles are introduced for safe tunnel drilling during MPFL reconstruction

Preoperative planning (2). The maximum bone stock between tunnels is calculated as half of L1 minus the L2 distance (L1/2-L2). Consequently, D1-D2 distance is the maximum possible distance between the entry points of the two tunnels at the medial patella margin that the surgeon can perceive by palpation in real time surgical conditions
