Clinical outcome and complications after simultaneous bilateral medial opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy.

Background: The literature provides limited evidence regarding postoperative outcomes and complications following simultaneous bilateral medial opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO). This study aimed to investigate the clinical outcomes and complications associated with simultaneous bilateral MOWHTO.

Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 72 knees from 36 patients (mean age, 58.

Predictive Factors for Lateral Hinge Fracture in Medial Closing Wedge Distal Femoral Osteotomy.

Background: Recent studies have reported that lateral hinge fracture (LHF) has a negative effect on bone healing at the osteotomy site after medial closing wedge distal femoral osteotomy (MCDFO). However, limited evidence exists in the literature regarding the predictive factors for LHF in MCDFO.

Hypothesis: A large medial closing gap and a lateral hinge position in the supracondylar area would increase plain radiography-based and/or computed tomography (CT)-based LHF in MCDFO.

Arthroscopy-controlled medial reefing and lateral release for recurrent patellar dislocation: clinical, radiologic outcomes and complications.

Background: Few studies have reported the clinical outcomes of the medial reefing procedure and lateral release with arthroscopic control of medial retinacular tension in patients with recurrent patellar dislocation. The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical, radiologic outcomes and complications of arthroscopy-controlled medial reefing and lateral release.

Methods: Patients who underwent arthroscopy-controlled medial reefing and lateral release for recurrent patellar dislocation between November 2007 and June 2017 were retrospectively evaluated.

Minimally invasive correction for symptomatic, fixed curly toe deformity.

Background: Curly toe deformity is a relatively common deformity that generally occurs at the 4th and 5th proximal and/or middle phalanges but rarely presents with symptoms. Although numerous open operative techniques have been introduced, there is no established treatment yet. We report the results of minimally invasive correction for symptomatic, fixed curly toe deformity.
