[Anterior open wedge osteotomy of the distal femur].

Objective: To treat instability caused by a genu recurvatum using ventral open wedge osteotomy of the distal femur.

Indications: Knee instability caused by Genu recurvatum with femoral extension deformity.

Contraindications: Inadequate blood flow to the lower extremity, soft tissue issues, obesity, osteoporosis.

Plate-related results of opening wedge high tibial osteotomy with a carbon fiber reinforced poly-ether-ether-ketone (CF-PEEK) plate fixation: a retrospective case series of 346 knees.

Background: While open wedge high tibial osteotomy (owHTO) is an established standard procedure to treat medial osteoarthritis of the knee in combination with varus deformity, it bears the risk of postoperative hardware failures and lateral cortical hinge fractures. This in turn can lead to an accelerated osteoarthritis, non-union, or a loss of correction accuracy. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the radiologic outcomes of owHTO with a carbon fiber reinforced poly-ether-ether-ketone (CF-PEEK) plate fixation in patients with medial osteoarthritis and varus deformity.
