Abstract :
Background: Angular deformities about the knee are one of the common disorders. High Tibial osteotomy is a way of correcting the deformity.
Although the general agreement is focused toward the open wedge technique, discussion about the type of device is a subject to debate. Objectives: This current study has attempted to evaluate the results of Orthopedic Dual Sliding Compression Plate (ODSCP) in high medial
open wedge osteotomies of the tibia. Patients and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 16 patients with genuvarum undergone high medial tibial open wedge osteotomy and
fixed by Orthopedic Dual Sliding Compression Plate. At the time of the last follow up visit, Lysholm score was gathered. Results: The mean follow-up time was 9.33 ± 1.87 month. The average age was 45.13 ± 7.25 years. Three patients were male and 13 patients were
female. The lysholm score showed a significant difference before and after surgery. Conclusions: The ODSCP has many advantages over the other type of plates. It can help the surgeon to operate with a relaxed mind and it is
advisable for high tibial medial open wedge osteotomies.
