Proximal tibial osteotomy for genu varum: Radiological evaluation of deformity correction with a plate vs external fixator

Abstract: BACKGROUND High tibial osteotomy (HTO) is a well-known procedure for the correction of knee varus. The purpose of this study was to compare the radiological results and accuracy of deformity correction performed using two different techniques: acute opening wedge correction using a plate and gradual correction with a monolateral external fixator. AIM To compare of the radiological results of two different techniques: acute opening wedge correction (a plate and screw) an… Show more

“…Of the 15 articles, seven of them are retrospective studies, four of them are case reports, and four are prospective studies. Two of the seven retrospective studies were comparison studies [ 7 , 8 ]. As many as 273 patients (114 males and 155 females) with 330 lower limb surgeries were included in the studies reviewed.…”

“…The most featured technique featured in papers reviewed employed proximal tibial osteotomy [ 1 , 4 , 5 , [7] , [8] , [9] , 12 , 13 ] with different location of surgical interventions, namely intra-epiphyseal [ 11 ], metaphyseal [ [14] , [15] , [16] ], and subperiosteal [ 17 ] sites. At least three procedures described were performed as double osteotomy in a single surgery [ 10 , 17 , 18 ], and at least two described grafting fibular fragments into tibial openings [ 17 , 18 ].…”
