Short-term Outcomes of High Tibial Osteotomy Using a Plate Versus a Plate With an Interbody Fusion Cage in Adolescent Tibia Vara : a Comparative Study

Sponsor: Sohag University

Summary

Tibia vara is a progressive angular deformity of the lower limb centered at the proximal tibial physis, producing a characteristic bowing of the leg. The condition is believed to result from an abnormal distribution of biomechanical stresses combined with an underlying genetic predisposition. (1) Excessive mechanical loading on the medial portion of the proximal tibial growth plate leads to asymmetric physeal activity, ultimately causing a pathologic varus deformity of the tibia.(²)
