Optimal Plate Position for Biomechanical Stability in Medial Opening-Wedge High Tibial Osteotomy: A Finite Element Analysis
Placing the plate more posteriorly and proximally in MOWHTO could minimize inter-fragmentary micromotion, reduce stress on the lateral hinge and bone-implant construct, and enhance stress shielding, all without increasing the risk of implant breakage, suggesting it as a potentially optimal plate position.
