Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Surgical techniques

Background:

  • Traditional anterior tibial osteotomy involves a small incision and multiple drill holes.
  • This approach risks damage to the anterior tibial periosteum and posterior neurovascular structures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe an alternative tibial osteotomy technique.
  • To present a minimally invasive approach that mitigates risks associated with the traditional method.

Main Methods:

  • The described technique utilizes two small incisions.
  • It avoids elevation of the anterior tibial periosteum.
  • The osteotome is directed away from posterior neurovascular structures.

Main Results:

  • The technique was successfully performed on 15 consecutive tibias.
  • No neurovascular complications were observed.
  • No skin healing issues were reported.

Conclusions:

  • This alternative tibial osteotomy technique is quick and safe.
  • It provides a viable minimally invasive alternative to the traditional anterior approach.
