Fig. 1From: Assessment of valgus laxity after release of the medial structure in medial open-wedge high tibial osteotomy: an in vivo biomechanical study using quantitative valgus stress radiographya Equivalent to the size of the opening, the wedged β-tricalcium phosphate spacers (Osferion60, Olympus Terumo Biomaterials) are inserted into the osteotomy site to fit into the medial cortical bone edge. b sMCL, pes anserinus, and periosteum are repaired. c The locking plate (TriS Medial HTO Plate System, Olympus Terumo Biomaterials) is fixed on the medial aspect of the proximal tibia. Postoperative anteroposterior (d) and lateral (e) radiographs of the right knee show a low-profile locking plate (TriS Medial HTO Plate System, Olympus Terumo Biomaterials) fixed in place with eight locking screwsBack to article page
