High Rate of Radiographic Union at the Fibular Osteotomy Site With No Complications After an Acute Oblique Osteotomy and Ligation Procedure to Shorten the Fibula in High Tibial Osteotomy
BACKGROUND: A fibular shortening osteotomy is needed to perform lateral closing-wedge high tibial osteotomy (LCW-HTO). To achieve this shortening, we have recently developed an acute oblique osteotomy and ligation (AO/L) procedure for the center of the fibular shaft, based on the AO procedure. PURPO...

description | BACKGROUND: A fibular shortening osteotomy is needed to perform lateral closing-wedge high tibial osteotomy (LCW-HTO). To achieve this shortening, we have recently developed an acute oblique osteotomy and ligation (AO/L) procedure for the center of the fibular shaft, based on the AO procedure. PURPOSE: To compare the 2-year follow-up outcomes between the AO/L procedure and the AO procedure. STUDY DESIGN: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 2. METHODS: A prospective comparative cohort study was conducted involving 83 patients (83 knees) who underwent shortening osteotomy of the fibula in LCW-HTO between April 2017 and March 2019. The first consecutive 41 knees (AO group) underwent fibular osteotomy with the AO procedure. The remaining 42 knees (AO/L group) underwent fibular osteotomy with the AO/L procedure. All of the patients were evaluated for at least 2 years postoperatively via clinical and radiological assessments. To determine the time needed for complete union at the osteotomy site, we evaluated the radiographs using a radiographic union score for tibial fractures, which was modified for fibular osteotomy. Comparison of outcomes between the 2 groups was performed using the Student t test for continuous variables and the Mann-Whitney U test or Fisher exact test for discrete variables. RESULTS: Around the fibular osteotomy site, no perioperative complications were found in either group. The radiographic union score was significantly higher in the AO/L group than in the AO group (P < .0001 at 2, 3, and 6 months; P = .0290 at 12 and 24 months). The union rate at the fibular osteotomy site was significantly higher in the AO/L group (97.6%) than in the AO group (82.9%) at 12 months (P = .0290). CONCLUSION: The AO/L procedure significantly accelerated the formation of bridging callus at the fibular osteotomy site and provided a significantly higher union rate compared with the AO procedure. Both AO/L and AO procedures were free from perioperative complications. These results suggest that the AO/L procedure is clinically useful as an osteotomy procedure to shorten the fibula in LCW-HTO. |
