    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Degenerative arthritis often affects a single knee compartment, causing deformity and pain.
    • Realignment of the tibia can redistribute joint load, alleviating pain in knee arthritis patients.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe novel surgical instruments designed for high tibial wedge osteotomy.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of these instruments in achieving accurate bone realignment for knee arthritis treatment.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of specialized surgical instruments: a marker pin guide and a saw guide.
    • Utilizing load-bearing radiographs to calculate precise bone wedge angles for osteotomy.
    • Employing the developed instruments during high tibial wedge osteotomy procedures.
