Monocortical fixation for locking plate distal screws does not impair mechanical properties in open-wedge high tibial osteotomy

Monocortical fixation for locking plate distal screws does not impair mechanical properties in open-wedge high tibial osteotomy

Abstract Background The neurovascular bundle containing the deep peroneal nerve has a potential risk of injury during open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO), particularly due to drilling for bicortical fixation at distal screw holes. Therefore, monocortical fixation is recommended for distal fixat...
