We report a case of tibial shaft fracture after open-wedge distal tibial tuberosity osteotomy (OWDTO). The use of a lag screw for a lateral hinge fracture in OWDTO requires careful postoperative rehabilitation and follow-up. We discuss concerns related to the mechanical strength at the osteotomy site after OWDTO to prevent fracture.
我们报告一例胫骨远端结节开放楔形截骨术(OWDTO)后发生的胫骨干骨折。在OWDTO中,使用拉力螺钉治疗外侧铰链骨折需要谨慎的术后康复和随访。我们讨论了与OWDTO后截骨部位机械强度相关的问题,以预防骨折。
