Opposite hinge fractures in high tibial osteotomy: a displacement subtype is more critical than a fracture type

ConclusionsThe unstable FOH types were more common in CWHTO. The displacement subtype was more predictive for the development of tibial pseudarthrosis than the fracture type, especially in OWHTO. The secondarily displaced FOHs (subtype C) represented the highest risk for the occurrence of pseudarthrosis in both techniques.
