Personalising high tibial osteotomy: ‘ideal’ preclinical stage evaluation of toka® - a novel patient specific 3d printed system

Background: High tibial osteotomy (HTO) aims to realign the knee joint and is a useful surgical option for medial tibiofemoral osteoarthritis in younger, more active patients. The procedure is technically challenging as accurate correction in multiple planes is essential for optimal effectiveness. This cadaveric study evaluated the accuracy of a novel system (TOKA ®) for open wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO), which uses CT scan data to create 3D printed patient specific cutting jigs and titanium fixation plate.
