Interlocking Closed-Wedge High Tibial Osteotomy Modified With Oblique Osteotomy Lines and a Locking Plate Fixation.

ABSTRACT: Closed-wedge high tibial osteotomy (CWHTO) is more advantageous over open-wedge high tibial osteotomy in the following viewpoints: (1) compression force from the patellar tendon to the osteotomy site contribute to its stability, (2) patellar baja less likely occurs, and (3) hardware implant is placed under the thick muscle, which could prevent risk of irritation and infection. Although conventional CWHTO resects the wedge bone, including the anterior and posterior cortices, interlocking CWHTO preserves them while performing osteotomy for the anterior or posterior cortex with only the proximal or distal osteotomy line, respectively. When the wedge is being closed, the distal fragment is internally rotated overlying the anterior and posterior cortices on the proximal and distal cortices, respectively. As a result, good rotational stability and anterior advancement of the tibial tubercle are obtained. Interlocking CWHTO can be applied for patients with moderate patellofemoral osteoarthritis. Adopting an oblique osteotomy line enables secure multiple screw fixations for a long locking plate with a good fitting, allowing early postoperative weightbearing.

Medial Closing-Wedge Distal Femoral Osteotomy: Fixation With Proximal Tibial Locking Plate.

Project description: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 are widely available, and there are various types of implants that can be used for fixation. However, there are currently only a few options of implants for fixation of a medial closing-wedge osteotomy on the market. This report describes a medial, supracondylar, V-shaped, closing-wedge distal femoral osteotomy using a locked anterolateral proximal tibial locking plate that fits anatomically to the medial side of the distal femur. This is a great option as a stable implant for a medial closing-wedge distal femoral osteotomy.

An Acute Oblique Osteotomy and Suture Ligation Procedure to Shorten the Fibula in Lateral Closing-Wedge High Tibial Osteotomy.

Project description:The purpose of this description is to report an "acute oblique osteotomy and ligation" (AOOL) procedure to shorten the fibula in high tibial osteotomy (HTO). A 4-cm longitudinal skin incision is made at the lateral aspect of the leg. After the central portion of the fibula is circumferentially isolated from all the periosteal tissues, a simple osteotomy is performed at the mid-portion of the fibular diaphysis in the quasi-frontal plane, which is inclined by 25 to 30° to the long axis of the fibula. Two thin holes are created beside the osteotomy line on the lateral surface of the fibula. A polyester thread is passed through the 2 holes. After the HTO is completed, the surgeon easily reduces the displaced fibular ends using this thread. This thread is securely tied to keep the contact between the 2 osteotomized surfaces. The AOOL procedure is technically easy and safely performed. We believe that the AOOL procedure is clinically useful to shorten the fibular shaft in HTO.

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.

Simultaneous Correction of Varus Deformity and Posterior Tibial Slope by Modified Hybrid Closed-Wedge High Tibial Osteotomy.

Project description:A large posterior tibial slope has been proven to be a risk factor for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, ACL graft failure, and medial meniscus posterior root tear. In addition, such pathologies often are accompanied by varus alignment. Thus, simultaneous varus and slope-correction osteotomy is required in such cases. High tibial osteotomy (HTO) is a well-established treatment for medial compartment knee osteoarthritis. Several HTO surgical techniques have been proposed, and hybrid closed-wedge HTO has been found to correct both varus deformity and a large posterior tibial slope via modification of the transverse osteotomy procedure. This Technical Note describes a modified hybrid closed-wedge HTO for simultaneous varus and slope correction in patients with ACL deficiency and/or medial meniscus posterior root tear involving both varus deformity and a large posterior tibial slope. This technique may reduce the risk of failure of the ACL graft and/or repaired medial meniscus posterior root.

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.

Medial Closed Wedge Distal Femoral Osteotomy Using a Novel Plate With an Optimal Compression System.

Project description:Medial closed wedge distal femoral osteotomy (MCWDFO) has been widely performed for lateral-compartment osteoarthritis since the development of a biplanar osteotomy technique using existing MCWDFO-specific plates. To further improve this system and the technique, we have developed a newly designed MCWDFO plate (TriS-MDFO; Olympus Terumo Biomaterials). The improved shape of the plate consists of a larger head-shaft angle to fit the distal femur after MCWDFO, more distally oriented distal screws to enable longer screw insertion, and a diamond-shaped plate head to avoid interference with the medial patellofemoral ligament. Technically, to overcome the difficulty in inserting proximal screws through the vastus medialis muscle, a cannulated screw system was employed. This system can prevent difficulties in removing the screw due to cross-threading when plate removal is required. Furthermore, we designed a novel compression hook device with a bulb-shaped head to hook on a screw hole to apply a compressive force to the osteotomized site. On the plate side, a characteristic 1.5 mm-thickness stopper is installed to prevent slippage of the hook device. This optimal compression system can minimize the risk of lateral hinge fracture during the compression procedure. These improvements in the TriS-MDFO may increase the ease and safety of MCWDFO.

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.

Anterior Proximal-to-Posterior Distal Oblique Proximal Tibial Osteotomy.

Project description:High tibial osteotomy is a common procedure to address unicompartment knee osteoarthritis and other conditions. Regarding the specific surgical methods, medial open wedge osteotomy and lateral close wedge osteotomy are the most used. Both methods have a common disadvantage in that they are not so suitable to correct a severe deformity. Thus, we would like to introduce an anterior proximal-to-posterior distal oblique proximal tibial osteotomy technique, which is especially suitable to correct severe tibial deformity. The most critical point of this technique is to create an osteotomy plane from the most proximal posterior site of the tibial tubercle posteriorly and distally to the posterior cortex of the tibia, with each horizontal osteotomy maneuver in the coronal plane. Combined fibular osteotomy is always needed, and better results can be obtained when it is combined with arthroscopic debridement of the knee. We consider the introduction of this technique will provide a useful option when tibial osteotomy is needed to preserve the knee, especially for a great deformity correction.

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.

Opening gap width influences distal tibial rotation below the osteotomy site following open wedge high tibial osteotomy.

Project description:PURPOSE:Although rotation of the distal portion of the tibia below the osteotomy site is considered an inevitable change in the axial plane in open wedge high tibial osteotomy (HTO), several studies on this issue have shown contradictory results. The purpose of this study was, therefore, to determine the direction and amount of distal tibial rotation following open wedge HTO using a three-dimensional reconstructed model. METHODS:This study involved 41 patients (42 knees) undergoing open wedge HTO for primary medial osteoarthritis. Distal tibial rotation was measured on the overlaid tibial plateau of a preoperative and postoperative 3-dimensional reconstructed model based on computed tomography. RESULTS:The mean distal tibial external rotation was 2.7° ± 2.3° (range, -0.9° to 9.9°), and the opening gap was larger in the group with > 3° distal tibial rotation than in the group with ? 3° distal tibial rotation (11.4 mm vs. 9.6 mm, P = 0.027). Multiple regression analysis showed that the opening gap was the only predictor of distal tibial rotation. On receiver operating characteristics analysis, an opening gap of 10 mm was found to be the optimal cutoff value for achieving greater than 3° of distal tibial rotation. CONCLUSIONS:Following medial opening wedge HTO, the distal tibial portion below the osteotomy site rotated approximately 3° externally. The magnitude of the external rotation of the distal tibia was affected by the opening gap width.
