Bones of the Lower Limb: Tibia and Fibula01:10

Bones of the Lower Limb: Tibia and Fibula

The tibia is the main weight-bearing bone of the lower leg. It is larger than the fibula with which it is paired. The tibia is also the second longest bone in the body and is located right below the skin. The proximal end of the tibia forms the medial and the lateral condyle, which articulates with the condyles of the femur to form the knee joint. Between the articulating surfaces is the irregular elevated area known as the intercondylar eminence that serves as the inferior attachment point for...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Knee Arthroplasty
  • Surgical Techniques

Context:

  • Revision knee arthroplasty and contractures often present challenges with standard surgical approaches.
  • Inadequate exposure can compromise surgical outcomes in complex knee procedures.

Purpose:

  • To describe the tibial tubercle osteotomy technique for enhanced knee joint visualization.
  • To outline indications, contraindications, surgical technique, and postoperative management for tibial tubercle osteotomy.

Summary:

  • Tibial tubercle osteotomy involves excising a bone block with the tibial tubercle, creating a step cut, and refixing with screws or cerclage wires.
  • Postoperative management varies based on fixation stability, with early weight-bearing and progressive flexion encouraged.
  • A study of 67 osteotomies showed no pseudarthrosis or dislocation, with manageable complications like hematoma and skin necrosis when proper technique is used.

Impact:

  • Provides a reliable method for achieving adequate knee joint exposure in challenging revision arthroplasty and contracture cases.
  • Minimizes risks associated with knee surgery, potentially leading to fewer complications and improved functional recovery.
  • Highlights the importance of surgical technique in mitigating risks and optimizing results for tibial tubercle osteotomy.
