“…A group of 11 men and 12 women (24 knees) aged 49 to 68 (mean, 56) years underwent box high tibial osteotomy 14 and staple fixation between February 1999 and April 2002, and were followed up for 3 years. The operation involved removal of a 'base-lateral' bony wedge from the proximal tibia, leaving behind a bony ledge on the distal fragment anteriorly and another on the proximal fragment posteriorly.…”

Purpose.To compare the results of staple versus locking compression plate fixation after closing wedge high tibial osteotomy. Methods. A group of 23 patients (24 knees) who underwent box high tibial osteotomy and staple fixation was compared with another group of 19 patients (22 knees) who underwent a similar procedure but with locking compression plate fixation. Both groups were followed up for 3 years. The range of movement, Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) Knee Score, time to full weight bearing, incidence of delayed union, femorotibial angle, and stage of osteoarthritis were compared. Results. At 6 months after the operation, the median HSS score and the proportion of patients with excellent or good scores were significantly higher in the locking compression plate than the staple fixation group (76 vs 62, p=0.003; 75% vs 42%, p=0.0354), but not at one Staple versus locking compression plate fixation after lateral closing wedge high tibial osteotomy

Several proximal tibial osteotomy techniques for the medial compartment arthrosis of the knee are described and traced in their development. These techniques are of the closed wedge, dome and open wedge types. We detail the differences in planning and surgery as well the need for different fixation devices. This historical and technical description will benefit those surgeons wishing to undertake the procedure as an alternative to joint replacement strategies.
