What is How to fix a tibial tubercle osteotomy with distalisation: A finite element analysis about?
Background: Antero-medialisation osteotomy combined with a distalisation procedure may require a more stable fixation as the osteotomy fragment loses both proximal and distal support. This finite element analysis aimed to compare the mechanical behaviour of different fixation techniques in tibial tubercle antero-medialisation osteotomy combined with distalisation procedure. Methods: Tibial tubercle osteotomy combined with distalisation was modelled based on computerised tomography data, which were acquired from a patient with patellar instability requiring this procedure. Six different fixation configurations with two 3.5-mm cortical screws (1), two 4.5-mm cortical screws (2), three 3.5-mm cortical screws (3), three 4.5-mm cortical screws (4), three 3.5-mm screws with 1/3 tubular plate (5), and four 3.5-mm screws with 1/3 tubular plate (6) were created. A total of 1654 N of force was applied to the patellar tendon footprint on the tibial tubercle. Sliding, gap formation, and total deformation between the osteotomy components were analyzed. Results: Maximum sliding (0.660 mm), gap formation (0.661 mm), and displacement (1.267 mm) were seen with two 3.5-mm screw fixation, followed by
