Suture Tape Augmentation of Screw Fixation Reduces Fragment Migration in Tibial Tubercle Osteotomy: A Biomechanical Study.

Background: Tibial tubercle osteotomy (TTO) is a complex surgical procedure with a significant risk of complications, which include nonunion and tibial fracture.

Purpose: To determine whether an additional suture tape augmentation can provide better biomechanical stability compared with standard screw fixation.

Study Design: Controlled laboratory study.
