Staple versus locking compression plate fixation after lateral closing wedge high tibial osteotomy.
PURPOSE To compare the results of staple versus locking compression plate fixation after closing wedge high tibial osteotomy. METHODS A group of 23 patients (24 knees) who underwent box high tibial osteotomy and staple fixation was compared with another group of 19 patients (22 knees) who underwent a similar procedure but with locking compression plate fixation. Both groups were followed up f...
متن کاملMedial Closing-Wedge Distal Femoral Osteotomy: Fixation With Proximal Tibial Locking Plate.
Distal femoral varus osteotomy is a well-established procedure for the treatment of lateral compartment cartilage lesions and degenerative disease, correcting limb alignment and decreasing the progression of the pathology. Surgical techniques can be performed with a lateral opening-wedge or medial closing-wedge correction of the deformity. Fixation methods for lateral opening-wedge osteotomies ...
متن کاملFixation stability of opening- versus closing-wedge high tibial osteotomy: a randomised clinical trial using radiostereometry.
Valgus high tibial osteotomy for osteoarthritis of the medial compartment of the knee can be performed using medial opening- and lateral closing-wedge techniques. The latter have been thought to offer greater initial stability. We measured and compared the stability of opening- and closing-wedge osteotomies fixed by TomoFix plates using radiostereometry in a series of 42 patients in a prospecti...
متن کاملHigh tibial osteotomy: closed wedge versus combined wedge osteotomy
BACKGROUND High tibial osteotomy is a common procedure to treat symptomatic osteoarthritis of the medial compartment of the knee with varus alignment. This is achieved by overcorrecting the varus alignment to 2-6° of valgus. Various high tibial osteotomy techniques are currently used to this end. Common procedures are medial opening wedge and lateral closing wedge tibial osteotomies. The latera...
متن کاملSupracondylar Osteotomy in Valgus Knee: Angle Blade Plate Versus Locking Compression Plate
Background: There are few studies comparing the biomechanical properties of angled blade plate and locking compression plates in supracondylar osteotomy. In the current randomized study, we prospectively compared the clinical and radiological outcomes of supracondylar osteotomy using these two plates. Methods: Forty patients with valgus knee malalignment were randomly assigned to two equal nu...
