The biomechanical effects of allograft wedges used for large corrections during medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy Open
The inclusion of an allograft wedge during medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy has been shown to lead to satisfactory time-to-union in larger corrections (>10°). Such large corrections are associated with greater incidences of intra…

Mechanical strength of a new plate compared to six previously tested opening wedge high tibial osteotomy implants Open
Background This study aimed to assess the mechanical static and fatigue strength provided by the FlexitSystem plate in medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomies (MOWHTO), and to compare it to six previously tested implants: the TomoFix …

Graft materials provide greater static strength to medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy than when no graft is included Open
Background The purpose of this study was to compare the stability of medial opening‐wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO) with and without different graft materials. Good clinical and radiological outcomes have been demonstrated when either…

Numerical comparative study of five currently used implants for high tibial osteotomy: realistic loading including muscle forces versus simplified experimental loading Open
Background Many different fixation devices are used to maintain the correction angle after medial open wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO). Each device must provide at least sufficient mechanical stability to avoid loss of correction and …

Verhinderung einer Fraktur der Gegenkortikalis bei aufklappender Osteotomie Open
The hinge-protecting effect is restricted to small correction angles, i. e., to unload cartilage repair regions in the absence of severe malalignment. For the treatment of varus gonarthrosis, there is no fracture-protecting effect from a h…

Static and fatigue strength of a novel anatomically contoured implant compared to five current open‐wedge high tibial osteotomy plates Open
Background The purpose of the present study was to compare the mechanical static and fatigue strength of the size 2 osteotomy plate “Activmotion” with the following five other common implants for the treatment of medial knee joint osteoart…

Mechanical strength assessment of a drilled hole in the contralateral cortex at the end of the open wedge for high tibial osteotomy Open
Background This study aimed to investigate, by means of finite element analysis, the effect of a drill hole at the end of a horizontal osteotomy to reduce the risk of lateral cortex fracture while performing an opening wedge high tibial os…

Biomechanical properties of five different currently used implants for open‐wedge high tibial osteotomy Open
Background As several new tibial osteotomy plates recently appeared on the market, the aim of the present study was to compare mechanical static and fatigue strength of three newly designed plates with gold standard plates for the treatmen…
