Peak (top) and mean (bottom) equivalent stress (Von Mises) at the chondro-osseous interface of the patella and trochlea subdivided into knee flexion angle for the healthy knee model (blue) and for the trochleodysplastic knee model pre- (red) and postoperatively (green) are depicted above. The latter with varied surgical parameters ranging from 0.5 x mean to 1.5 x mean
