Posterior cortical breakage leads to posterior tibial slope change in lateral hinge fracture following opening wedge high tibial osteotomy
ConclusionType I lateral hinge fractures encroached either the anterior or posterior cortex of the proximal tibia, but not both. In addition, posterior tibial slope increased over time following surgery in knees with Type I lateral hinge fracture and posterior cortex breakage, suggesting that caution should be exercised when deciding the starting time for weight bearing in such patients.Level of evidenceCase series, Level IV.
