METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING A HIGH TIBIAL, DOME OSTEOTOMY
摘要
<p>A method for performing a high tibial, dome osteotomy to adjust the lateral and/or angular disposition of the tibial plateau relative to the lower portion of the tibia comprises the steps of forming an arcuate osteotomy cut in the tibia to subdivide it into upper and lower portions; manipulating the position of the portions; forming keyholes and corresponding fixation holes along the cut and a keyhole slot to connect the keyholes; inserting an implant comprising a pair of keys and a bridge into the prepared bone; and inserting screws through bores in the keys to stabilize the upper and lower portions of the tibia.</p>
