Biomechanical evaluation of a newly designed locking plate for opening wedge high tibial osteotomy: stress distribution and stability in the presence of lateral hinge fracture
The new OhtoFix plate improved stress distribution around the D-hole (even in the presence of a LHF) compared to the old OhtoFix plate and TomoFix plates. However, although the new OhtoFix plate reduced peak stress around the D-hole, it did not demonstrate superior overall stress distribution across the entire plate compared to the TomoFix plate.
