Prior tuberosity screw fixation of the osteotomized tubercle can lead to favorable outcomes in retro-tubercular bi-planar opening wedge high tibial osteotomy

Exact information regarding fixing the tuberosity screw during retro-tubercular opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy (RT-OWHTO) is still lacking. The purpose of this study was to determine whether prior tuberosity screw fixation before plate fixation of main osteotomy fragment can prevent complications associated with tuberosity screw.
