Lowering the osteotomized level of fibular osteotomy reduces neuromuscular complications while maintaining clinical efficacy in treating medial compartment knee osteoarthritis: a retrospective comparative cohort study
Lowering the osteotomy to the mid-third of the fibula significantly reduced peroneal nerve injury while preserving functional improvement. These findings support mid-level PFO as a safer, technically accessible modification for MKOA treatment.
