[Multidirectional Corrective Osteotomy of the Tibial Tuberosity]

Area of Science:

• Orthopedic surgery
• Surgical techniques
• Bone reconstruction

Context:

• Tibial tuberosity osteotomy is a common orthopedic procedure.
• Existing techniques may have limitations in achieving precise bone displacement.
• The need for improved methods for tibial tuberosity realignment exists.

Purpose:

• To describe a new multidimensional, V-shaped, and self-centering osteotomy technique.
• To highlight the use of cortical bone block support in this procedure.
• To enable combined distoanteromedialisation of the tibial tubercle.

Summary:

• A novel V-shaped osteotomy technique for the tibial tuberosity is presented.
• This technique utilizes a self-centering mechanism and cortical bone block support.
• It facilitates a combined distoanteromedial repositioning of the tibial tubercle.

Impact:

• Offers a precise and stable method for tibial tuberosity realignment.
• Potentially improves outcomes for patients requiring tibial tubercle surgery.
• Contributes to the advancement of orthopedic surgical procedures.
