ADDITIONAL TIBIAL OSTEOTOMY THROUGH THE USE OF HETEROLOGOUS BONE WEDGES

Comparison between conventional surgery and the computerized procedure in the treatment of the varus knee

The sheet summarizes the results of a study published in 2011 in which 24 patients with osteoarthritis of the medial region of the knee with varus deformity underwent high tibial osteotomy by addition. The patients, for a total of 27 joints, were divided into two groups: in group A (11 patients, 13 joints) the conventional procedure was performed, while in group B (13 patients, 14 joints) the patients underwent computerized osteotomy. In all the procedures, an equine derived and enzymatically deantigenized bone wedge was used.
