Combination of Cylindrical Autologous Bone Grafting Technique With a Metallic Block Insertion in Open-Wedge High Tibial Osteotomy.

ABSTRACT: Open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (OW-HTO) is an effective surgical intervention for medial-compartment knee osteoarthritis. However, the osteotomized gap might be a disadvantage in OW-HTO because it can cause problems such as delayed bone union or loss of correction. These issues can be minimized by using autologous bone graft in the osteotomized gap, which is known to be the fastest and most clinically satisfactory gap filler. The primary mechanical stability of the osteotomy site in OW-HTO is essential for early weight bearing after surgery. Therefore, we introduce the combination of a cylindrical autologous bone grafting technique and a metallic block insertion for faster bone union and better primary stability of the site in OW-HTO. We expect that the described procedure will enable early postoperative weight bearing and, thereby, allow an early return to normal function.

A new technique of autologous bone grafting for open-wedge high tibial osteotomy.

Project description:PurposeThis study aimed to demonstrate the application of orthotopic bone flap transplantation with a fibula transplantation (OBFT-FT) in open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (OW-HTO) and to assess the effect of OBFT-FT on gap healing.Patients and methodsFrom January to July 2020, 18 patients who underwent OW-HTO with OBFT-FT were reviewed for this study. Demographics, postoperative complications, and radiological and clinical outcomes of patients were collected. Finally, the clinical outcomes of patients were analyzed.ResultsA total of 14 patients were included in this study. The average age and body mass index were 59.6 ± 9.2 years and 28.1 ± 4.5 kg/m2, respectively. The average correction angle and gap width were 9.5 ± 1.8° and 10.2 ± 2.7 mm, respectively. The rates of radiological gap healing at sixth week, third month, and sixth month were 42.9%, 85.7%, and 100%, respectively. The mean Lysholm score, International Knee Documentation Committee score, and visual analog scale scores at sixth-month follow-up were significantly better than the preoperative scores (p < 0.001, p < 0.001, p = 0.001, respectively). And, no delayed union or non-union, collapse, loss of correction, or surgical site infection were found.ConclusionsAs a new technique for autologous bone graft, the OBFT-FT could be successfully applied in the treatment of gap healing after OW-HTO, and excellent radiological and clinical outcomes could be seen on patients' short-term follow-up.

Autologous Osteophyte Grafting for Open-Wedge High Tibial Osteotomy.

Project description:Osteophytes are physiological bony outgrowths that develop at the margins of the articular surfaces during the progression of osteoarthritis; they are associated with active endochondral bone formation processes and expressions of various growth factors. We believe they could be a source of bone grafts as a result of a potentially strong osteoinductive effect. Moreover, osteophytes can be easily harvested by arthroscopy in patients undergoing open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (OW-HTO) for medial unicompartmental knee osteoarthritis. Therefore, we have been using osteophyte autografts for osteotomy gaps in OW-HTO with positive preliminary results indicating rapid bone healing of osteotomy sites. In this technical note, we introduce a technique for harvesting autologous osteophytes by arthroscopy and implanting them into the gap formed after OW-HTO. We expect that autologous osteophyte grafting can be a useful method for accelerating bone union and therefore enabling weight bearing from an early stage after surgery, which will lead to an early return to social activities.

Kirschner Wire Reference Technique in Open-Wedge High Tibial Osteotomy.

Project description:Open-wedge high tibial osteotomy is a common procedure to treat young adult and adult patients with symptomatic varus malalignment. The purpose of the high tibial osteotomy is to shift the mechanical load from the medial compartment to the lateral compartment. There are several methods to determine the correct alignment, such as the cable method, the gap measurement method, the navigator system, or the patient-specific cutting guide method. The cable and gap measurement techniques are easy to use, but the results of these techniques are unpredictable. The navigator and patient-specific cutting guide methods have high accuracy in attaining the desired correction alignment, but they are quite costly. We propose a technique we call the Kirschner wire reference method, which is easy to use to achieve the desired alignment correction, without requiring specialized or expensive equipment.

Opening-Wedge Proximal Tibial Osteotomy.

Project description:Varus knee malalignment caused by medial compartment arthritis results in progressive asymmetric wear of the tibiofemoral joint. This wear can cause progressively painful gonarthrosis. Surgical methods to address varus knee malalignment include lateral closing-wedge proximal tibial osteotomy, medial opening-wedge osteotomy, and arthroplasty. Medial opening-wedge proximal tibial osteotomy is an effective procedure for restoring proper coronal alignment and reducing knee pain. In this technical note, we present a reproducible technique for proximal tibial osteotomy.

Open-Wedge Valgus High Tibial Osteotomy Technique With Inverted L-Shaped Configuration.

Project description:High tibial osteotomy (HTO) is a useful alternative in the treatment of symptomatic varus malalignment. However, among its drawbacks is the tendency to decrease patellar height and increase the posterior tibial slope. The increased tibial slope increases anterior cruciate ligament tension and may compromise its function. On the other hand, patella baja often causes anterior knee pain and, over time, may favor degeneration of the patellofemoral joint. The aim of this study is to describe a technical modification of the standard open-wedge HTO. It consists of a double inverted L-shaped cut, which includes the anterior tibial tuberosity in the proximal fragment, to avoid any alteration of patellar height and control the eventual increase of the posterior tibial slope.

Medial Opening Wedge Proximal Tibial Osteotomy.

Project description:Genu varus malalignment can lead to medial compartment overload and progression of ipsilateral compartment osteoarthritis. To slow this process, a medial opening wedge proximal tibial osteotomy (PTO) can be performed. This type of PTO is indicated in patients with genu varus malalignment and isolated medial compartment osteoarthritis of the knee, prior to or concurrent with medial compartment cartilage procedures or meniscal transplants, chronic posterolateral corner deficiency, or chronic anterior cruciate ligament deficiency. When treating ligamentous instability, a PTO can be performed in isolation, with simultaneous ligament reconstruction, or as a staged procedure with the osteotomy first, followed by ligament reconstruction if instability persists. Failure to address malalignment in cases of concurrent ligament reconstruction leads to increased stress on the graft and potential graft failure. One distinct advantage of this procedure is the ability to correct deformities in the sagittal and coronal planes. The purpose of this article was to describe our technique used to perform a medial opening wedge PTO.

Tibial Tubercle Preserving Anterior Closing Wedge Proximal Tibial Osteotomy and ACL Tunnel Bone Grafting for Increased Posterior Tibial Slope in Failed ACL Reconstructions.

Project description:Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) failure is multifactorial, but it is known that increased posterior tibial slope (PTS) leads to a greater likelihood of ACLR failure. This technical note describes the senior author's technique for performing an anterior closing wedge proximal tibial osteotomy, in which the osteotomy is made proximal to the tibial tubercle. This procedure is the first part of a staged surgery for patients with multiple failed ACLRs and increased sagittal plane PTS. Debridement of osteolytic reconstruction tunnels with bone grafting is also undertaken in preparation for a second-stage revision ACLR.

Distal femoral varus osteotomy: results of the lateral open-wedge technique without bone grafting.

Project description:BACKGROUND:The lateral opening wedge distal femoral osteotomy (LOWDFO) to reconstruct knee alignment in patients with genu valgum originating in the distal femur has gained importance within the last years. PURPOSE:To analyze clinical and radiographic outcome of patients treated with LOWDFO with respect to bone healing without grafting and patient age. MATERIAL AND METHODS:Twenty-two consecutive patients with genu valgum corrected with 23 LOWDFOs using a Tomofix-locking plate were retrospectively analyzed (mean age 23.7 years). Clinical evaluation was based on pre- and post-operative KOOS scores. A pre- and post-operative radiographic assessment, including MAD, mLDFA, LLD, bone healing, and patella parameters, was performed. Differences between subgroups (age, bone grafting) were analyzed. RESULTS:The restoration of MAD and mLDFA resulted in significantly improved post-operative KOOS5 scores in younger and older patients (p?=?0.001). Bone healing without bone grafting was reliable in all patients. The leg length was significantly increased post-operatively (p?=?0.001). The Blackburne-Peel ratio was significantly reduced to more normal values post-operatively (p?<?0.001). CONCLUSION:LOWDFO without bone grafting is a reliable procedure representing a promising treatment option particularly in young patients with genu valgum. Besides correction of the MAD, a significant leg length increase and additional patella stability can be expected.

Anterolateral Biplanar Proximal Tibial Opening-Wedge Osteotomy.

Project description:Proximal tibial anterolateral opening-wedge osteotomies have been reported to achieve successful biplanar lower-extremity realignment. Indications for a proximal tibial anterolateral osteotomy include symptomatic genu recurvatum with genu valgus alignment, usually in patients with a flat sagittal-plane tibial slope. The biplanar approach is able to simultaneously address both components of a patient's malalignment with a single procedure. The correction amount is verified with spacers and intraoperative imaging, while correction of the patient's heel height is simultaneously measured. A plate is secured into the osteotomy site, and the site is filled with bone allograft. The anterolateral tibial osteotomy has been reported to be an effective surgical procedure for correcting concomitant genu recurvatum and genu valgus malalignment.

Distal Tibial Tuberosity Arc Osteotomy in Open-Wedge Proximal Tibial Osteotomy to Prevent Patella Infra.

Project description:Open-wedge high tibial osteotomy is considered to be an effective surgical intervention for medial compartmental knee osteoarthritis. However, patella infra, which has been reported to be a result of tuberosity distalization after open-wedge high tibial osteotomy, changes the native patellofemoral biomechanics. This could raise abnormal patellofemoral contact stresses, which might be the trigger of patellofemoral arthrosis. To minimize the reduction in patellar height, we have developed a technique called open-wedge distal tuberosity tibial osteotomy. The benefits of this technique include increased bone-to-bone contact of the distal tuberosity cut surface after correction by cutting an arc osteotomy around the hinge position, which is the center of rotation. This technique also provides cortical support at the anterior osteotomy site without additional bone defect and, therefore, may be advantageous against weight-bearing stress on the osteotomy site. In all, open-wedge distal tuberosity tibial osteotomy could potentially be a unique open-wedge osteotomy that eliminates the risk for postoperative patellofemoral osteoarthritis and also could theoretically encourage rapid healing of the osteotomy, which could lead to early return to full physical activity.
