A new technique of autologous bone grafting for open-wedge high tibial osteotomy.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study aimed to demonstrate the application of orthotopic bone flap transplantation with a fibula transplantation (OBFT-FT) in open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (OW-HTO) and to assess the effect of OBFT-FT on gap healing.

Patients and methods

From January to July 2020, 18 patients who underwent OW-HTO with OBFT-FT were reviewed for this study. Demographics, postoperative complications, and radiological and clinical outcomes of patients were collected. Finally, the clinical outcomes of patients were analyzed.

Results

A total of 14 patients were included in this study. The average age and body mass index were 59.6 ± 9.2 years and 28.1 ± 4.5 kg/m², respectively. The average correction angle and gap width were 9.5 ± 1.8° and 10.2 ± 2.7 mm, respective
