Ability of an intentionally smaller anterior than posterior gap to reduce the sagittal tibial slope in opening wedge high tibial osteotomy
BACKGROUND We utilized in vivo 3- dimensional (D) computed tomography (CT) to determine whether the preoperatively planned anterior and posterior opening gap heights correlated with the real gaps following opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (HTO), as well as the relationships between anterior and posterior gap heights and change in sagittal tibial slope. METHODS This prospective study involv...
متن کاملAnterior opening wedge high tibial osteotomy: the effect of increasing posterior tibial slope on ligament strain.
BACKGROUND Although a previous study showed that anterior opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (HTO) for sagittal plane correction induced no increased strain in the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), we hypothesized that other ligamentous restraints of the knee may be subjected to increased strain. METHODS We mounted 6 cadaveric knees at 15 degrees flexion in a testing apparatus that provided ...
متن کاملEffect of Wedge Insertion Angle on Posterior Tibial Slope in Medial Opening Wedge High Tibial Osteotomy
BACKGROUND Medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (HTO) is a well-established surgery for medial compartment knee osteoarthritis (OA) wherein the lower extremity is realigned to shift the load distribution from the medial compartment of the knee to the lateral compartment. However, this surgery is known to affect the posterior tibial slope angle (PTSA), which could lead to abnormal knee kin...
متن کاملPosterior tibial slope in medial opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy: 2-D versus 3-D navigation.
Although opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy (HTO) is used to correct deformities, it can simultaneously alter tibial slope in the sagittal plane because of the triangular configuration of the proximal tibia, and this undesired change in tibial slope can influence knee kinematics, stability, and joint contact pressure. Therefore, medial opening-wedge HTO is a technically demanding procedure des...
