Meniscus Reconstruction Using Autologous Tendon Combined With Open-Wedge High Tibial Osteotomy: A Technique to Achieve Rigid Fixation and Avoid Interference Between Locking Screws and Tibial Bone Tunnel

Abstract

Meniscal posterior root tears reportedly result in accelerated cartilage degeneration and spontaneous insufficiency fractures of the knee. While meniscus repair combined with open-wedge high tibial osteotomy is an optional method, the healing rate is not sufficiently high. Therefore, this Technical Note describes a technique for meniscal reconstruction combined with open-wedge high tibial osteotomy that may offer improvements in meniscal healing rates and clinical results.
