Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An implant for use in high tibial osteotomy can include a central implant portion, a first side implant portion and a second side implant portion. The first and second side implant portions can be selectively rotatable relative to each other. A method of performing high tibial osteotomy can include providing an implant having a superior surface and an inferior surface. The first superior surface and the second inferior surface can define an implant angle therebetween. A correction angle of the tibia can be determined. A first cut can be made in the tibia. An angle of a second cut relative to the first cut can be determined based on a difference between the implant angle and the correction angle. The second cut can be made in the tibia. The tibia can be opened creating an opening for receipt of the implant. The implant can be inserted into the opening.
