Proximal tibial osteotomy (PTO) is an effective procedure for active and young adult patients with symptomatic unicompartmental osteoarthritis and malalignment. They were considered technically demanding and prone to various complications related to the surgical technique, biomechanical or biological origin. Among the most important are hinge fractures and delayed or non-healing, neurovascular complications, loss of correction, implant-related problems, patellofemoral complaints, biological complications and changes in limb length. Being aware of these problems can help minimizing their prevalence and improve the results of the procedure.The aim of this narrative review is to discuss the potential complications that may occur during and after proximal tibial osteotomies, their origin and ways to prevent them.

Focal Fibrocartilaginous Dysplasia and Growth Arrest: Case Report.
JBJS Case Connect
October 2024
Department of Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgery, Hospital for Special Surgery, New York, New York.
Case: A pediatric patient with focal fibrocartilaginous dysplasia (FFCD) developed angular deformity and growth arrest despite standard guided growth management. The patient underwent implant-mediated guided growth for proximal tibia varus deformity which recurred; subsequently, a physeal bar of the medial proximal tibia was diagnosed, which progressed to physeal arrest.
Conclusion: Treatment options for FFCD-associated angular deformity include observation and guided growth.

Purpose: Lateral unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is relatively less common than medial UKA. There has been no comparative analysis of the constitutional phenotypes of knees that underwent medial and lateral UKA. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the Coronal Plane Alignment of the Knee (CPAK) classification of knees that underwent medial and lateral UKA.

Construct failure is a rare complication of tibial cranial closing wedge ostectomy for the management of cranial cruciate ligament disease. Construct failure can present significant challenges for reconstruction. This case report describes three dogs with construct failure which were successfully revised by the repurposing of an inverted femoral supracondylar femoral plate as part of the revision.

Background: For complete disruption of the posterolateral corner (PLC) structures, operative treatment is most commonly advocated, as nonoperative treatment has higher rates of persistent lateral laxity and posttraumatic arthritis. Some studies have shown that acute direct repair results in revision rates upwards of 37% to 40% compared with 6% to 9% for initial reconstruction. In a recent study assessing the outcomes of acute repair of PLC avulsion injuries with 2 to 7 years of follow-up, patients with adequate tissue were shown to have a much lower failure rate than previously documented.

Patients And Methods: Fifty-six patients (11 males, 45 females; mean age: 53.8±7.
