Placement-induced effects on high tibial osteotomized construct - biomechanical tests and finite-element analyses

BACKGROUND: High tibial osteotomy (HTO) with a medially opening wedge has been used to treat osteoarthritic knees. However, the osteotomized tibia becomes a highly unstable structure and necessitates the use of plate and screws to stabilize the medial opening and enhance bone healing. A T-shaped pla...
