The biomechanical effects of allograft wedges used for large corrections during medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy.

The inclusion of an allograft wedge during medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy has been shown to lead to satisfactory time-to-union in larger corrections (>10°). Such large corrections are associated with greater incidences of intraoperative hinge fracture and reduced construct stability....
