Introduction: The complications of the open-wedge osteotomy technique (slope, hypo- and hypercorrection and fractures) are related to difficulties in the control of the open-wedge angle during surgery.
Materials And Methods: In this cadaveric study, we evaluated the safety and precision of a novel system, the Realignment High Control System (RHC), in the correction of knee mechanical axis and slope. The RHC has a fixation plate coupled to a dynamic device that opens the osteotomy continuously, allowing plate fixation before osteotomy wedge opening.
Results: All procedures were easily performed, with no fractures. The openings equaled the indicated by the navigation system for 7.5° and 10°, and for 5°, there was a statistically, although not clinically significant, difference of 0.6°. The slope shown by the RHC setting and in the navigation system was significantly different for the 10° setting only, with a mean difference of 0.563°.
Conclusions: RHC facilitates the surgical technique of high tibial osteotomy, with gradual wedge opening, precise correction of the mechanical axis, and appropriate control of the tibial slope, even with larger openings.

Patient-specific cutting guides allow 1° precision in asymmetric anterior closing-wedge osteotomy.

Department of Trauma and Orthopaedics, Institute for Locomotion, Sainte-Marguerite Hospital Aix-Marseille University Marseille France.
Purpose: Asymmetric anterior closing-wedge high tibial osteotomy (ACWHTO) allows correction of both excessive posterior tibial slope (PTS) and varus deformity. However, the complexity of this surgery requires a high degree of accuracy, which is less likely to be achieved with standard instrumentations. This study aimed to determine the accuracy of 3D patient-specific cutting guides (PSCGs) to provide the accurate planned correction in the frontal and sagittal planes.

Objective: To explore the relationship between meniscus compression and the severity of knee osteoarthritis.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective case-control study included 95 patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) admitted to our hospital from April 2021 to July 2023, who were grouped into slight protrusion of meniscus group (n = 48) and severe protrusion of meniscus group (n = 47) according to the degree of meniscal extrusion. Various parameters, including Kellgren/Lawrence classification, imaging findings, cartilage damage grading, physical function assessments, and correlation analyses, were used to evaluate the relationship between meniscal extrusion and disease progression.
Locking compression plate as a sequential external fixator following the distraction phase for the treatment of tibial bone defects caused by fracture-related infection: experiences from 22 cases.

Background: The purpose of this study was to report the clinical and psychological outcomes of using a locking compression plate (LCP) as a sequential external fixator following the distraction phase in the treatment of tibial bone defects caused by fracture-related infection (FRI).
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical records and consecutive X-ray images of patients with tibial bone defects who were treated with an LCP as a sequential external fixator following the distraction phase, between June 2017 and December 2022. The ASAMI criteria were applied to assess the bone and functional outcomes, and postoperative complications were evaluated by using the Paley classification.

Background: This study investigated the impact of higher interfragmentary compression force (IFCF) on the stability of locking plate fixation in lateral tibial plateau fractures.
Methods: Biomechanical experiments and finite element analysis (FEA) were employed to compare the performance of the AO cancellous lag screw (AOCLS) and a newly developed combined cancellous lag screw (CCLS).
Results: The results demonstrated that the CCLS provided a higher IFCF without the risk of over-screwing, significantly improving fixation stability.
