Monocortical fixation for locking plate distal screws does not impair mechanical properties in open-wedge high tibial osteotomy

BACKGROUND: The neurovascular bundle containing the deep peroneal nerve has a potential risk of injury during open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO), particularly due to drilling for bicortical fixation at distal screw holes. Therefore, monocortical fixation is recommended for distal fixation of a...
