Computational comparison of different plating strategies in medial open-wedge high tibial osteotomy with lateral hinge fractures

Abstract Background Lateral hinge fracture (LHF) is associated with nonunion and plate breakage in high tibial osteotomy (HTO). Mechanical studies investigating fixation strategies for LHFs to restore stability and avoid plate breakage are absent. This study used computer simulation to compare mecha...
