High tibial osteotomy using the Tjörnstrand guide instrument significantly improved correction accuracy for medial gonarthrosis. This surgical guide enhances precision in knee osteotomies compared to freehand techniques.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Biomechanical Engineering

Background:

  • Medial gonarthrosis (knee osteoarthritis) significantly impacts joint function.
  • Traditional freehand high tibial osteotomy techniques have shown variable correction accuracy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of the Tjörnstrand guide instrument in achieving accurate correction during high tibial osteotomy for medial gonarthrosis.
  • To compare the precision of guided osteotomy with previous freehand methods.

Main Methods:

  • Fifty-two patients with medial gonarthrosis underwent high tibial osteotomy using the Tjörnstrand guide.
  • Preoperative lower limb radiographs were used to calculate the intended surgical wedge.
  • The correction aimed for a 4-degree valgus overcorrection of the hip-knee-ankle angle.

Main Results:

  • 98% of cases achieved correction within +/- 3 degrees of the intended hip-knee-ankle angle.
  • 96% of cases healed within +/- 3 degrees of the achieved surgical correction.
  • This represents a substantial improvement over the 20% inaccuracy observed with the freehand technique.

Conclusions:

  • The Tjörnstrand guide instrument significantly enhances the accuracy of high tibial osteotomy for medial gonarthrosis.
  • Surgical guides are crucial for achieving precise outcomes in knee osteotomies, comparable to their importance in arthroplasties.
