The effect of lateral hinge fracture with hinge hole and protective K-wire for medial opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy by compression testing and finite element analysis
Combining hinge holes and protective K-wires provides superior mechanical support and reduces the risk of Type II and III lateral hinge fractures, offering a promising strategy to improve MOWHTO outcomes.
