Abstract:Purpose
Although the effects of lateral hinge fractures (LHF) on bone union and clinical outcomes after opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) have been established, the effects of LHF after opening-wedge distal tibial tubercle osteotomy (OWDTO) are unclear. We hypothesised that LHF after OWDTO would be associated with delayed bone union and result in poorer clinical outcomes than expected for LHF after OWHTO.
