Timing of tibial tubercle osteotomy in two-stage revision of infected total knee arthroplasty does not affect union and reinfection rate. A systematic review

Tibial tubercle osteotomy (TTO) in two-stage infected revision total knee arthroplasty (RTKA) could be applied at either first, second, or in both stages, and may remain preliminary fixed or unfixed until the second stage. The primary aim of the review was to identify any correlation between the timing of TTO and osteotomy union as well as reinfection rate.
