Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Biomechanics
  • Knee joint anatomy

Context:

  • Knee ligamentous deficiency often requires surgical intervention.
  • Existing treatments may not fully restore joint stability.
  • Salvage procedures are needed for complex knee instability cases.

Purpose:

  • To describe the principles and technique of stabilization osteotomy for knee ligamentous deficiency.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of stabilization osteotomy as a salvage procedure.
  • To present the outcomes of patients who underwent this surgical approach.

Summary:

  • Stabilization osteotomy is a single or double 1-stage procedure to address knee ligamentous deficiency.
  • The technique utilizes residual ligamentous and capsular tissues with an open wedge osteotomy to realign the joint.
  • Satisfactory results were observed in 6 patients treated over 5 years.

Impact:

  • Provides a surgical option for complex knee instability.
  • Highlights the importance of utilizing surrounding tissues for joint stabilization.
  • Contributes to the understanding of osteotomy techniques in knee reconstruction.
