Tibial shaft fracture after medial open‐wedge distal tibial tuberosity osteotomy: A case report

Abstract: We report a case of tibial shaft fracture after open‐wedge distal tibial tuberosity osteotomy (OWDTO). The use of a lag screw for a lateral hinge fracture in OWDTO requires careful postoperative rehabilitation and follow‐up. We discuss concerns related to the mechanical strength at the osteotomy site after OWDTO to prevent fracture.

“…As delayed- or non-union of the tibial tuberosity may cause knee pain, decreased knee function, and further tibial tuberosity fractures, 7 their prevention is crucial for patients undergoing OWDTO. Generally, the bone union rate is defined by the area of osteotomy and the type of bone compartment (cancellous or cortical compartment).…”
