Open the catalog to page 6General Remarks Open-wedge corrective tibia osteotomies are increasingly being used for joint-preserving surgery of the knee joint. The TomoFix knee osteotomy system is based on the Locking Compression Plate system (LCP) and enables angular-stable connections between the screw and plate. This angular stability allows the stable fixation of an open-wedge osteotomy and hence its rapid osseous healing. Note: Plan the type and position of the osteotomy. The TomoFix medial high tibial plate is suitable for both open and closed-wedge osteotomies. This technique guide will explain the procedure of...
Open the catalog to page 7Preparation and Approach 1 Preoperative Planning A precise preoperative plan is crucial to the success of this procedure. The recommended method for planning is that of Miniaci. It must be done on the basis of the weight-bearing x-ray of the full leg in AP view, either on paper or at a digital workstation. − Determine the mechanical axis of the leg: Draw a straight line from the center of the femoral head to the center of the ankle joint (a). − Draw the new weight-bearing line from the center of the femoral head, passing the knee through the desired position (a’). − Determine a hinge point...
Open the catalog to page 8- Determine the entry point of the transverse osteotomy. It ies just above the pes anserinus. Make sure there is still enough space for the plate head, so that the screw in hole D can be inserted without protruding into the wedge. De- pending on the determined opening angle and the length of the osteotomy cut (mediolateral diameter of the os- teotomy) the corresponding opening height can be de- rived from Hernigou's trigonometric chart. Trigonometric chart Correction angle Note: These instructions alone do not replace in-depth train- ng in planning for osteotomies. It only serves as a...

Open the catalog to page 103 Positioning of patient Perform the surgery with the patient in a supine position. Attach a lateral support and foot pad to the operating table so that the leg can be easily positioned in 90° flexion and in full extension. Position the patient so that the hip, knee and ankle joint can be visualized with the image intensifier. Lower the contralateral leg at the hip joint to facilitate access to the medial proximal tibia. The sterile draping also exposes the iliac crest so that the leg axis can be checked intraoperatively. A sterile tourniquet can be used, but is not mandatory. Note: Allow...
Open the catalog to page 11Preparation and Approach 4 1 Approach Position the knee in 90° flexed position. Mark the anatomic landmarks (medial joint line, cranial border of pes anserinus, course of the medial collateral ligament, and tibial tuberosity) on the skin. Make a 6 – 8 cm long skin incision running from a point anterior to the insertion of the pes in a posterocranial direction. The incision ends over the posteromedial corner of the medial tibial plateau.(1) Note: This incision runs essentially in line with the skin lines and the saphenous nerve. First, divide the subcutaneous tissues and the fascia at the...

Align the medial and lateral compartments in AP projection. Rotate the leg in a position which locates the patella exactly anteriorly (one third of the fibular head is then usually covered by the tibia).(1) Caution: A correct view of the...
