Abstract:
Nonunion after high tibial osteotomy is an uncommon complication. Ten cases have been treated with a single plate; failure occurred twice in five. Double plates, bolted together, healed in all five attempts. Although the healed osteotomies had only "fair" functional results, none have as yet required total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
