Medial femoro-tibal arthritis in cases of genu varum is almost always associated with metaphyseal varus. Correcting this deformation should ideally be done at the place at which it is situated, that is, in the internal tibial metaphyseal region, with an open internal tibial osteotomy.
OSTEO + restores the anatomy of the tibial metaphysis, making it easier to implant a prosthesis if necessary, unlike the external closed osteotomy which induces metaphyseal malunion.
Indications
- Medial femoro-tibal arthritis in genu varum.
The Concept
Using the OSTEO + system removes all the standard disadvantages of open osteotomy, and allows :
-
an opening that is adjustable in a precise manner that can be modified at every stage of the operation,
- solid osteosynthesis making it unnecessary to use an iliac graft or block,
- early re-habilitation with no post-operative immobilisation.
Product characteristics
Modular implant that can be adjusted depending on the graduations and locked by a clutch system.
Material : TA6 V4.
