Novel anatomically contoured locking plate shows improved anatomic conformity vs. a conventional T-shaped plate in anterior popliteus transtibial-tuberosity high tibial osteotomy: a radiologic comparison
In this CT-based cohort, the novel anatomically contoured locking plate achieved superior anatomic conformity in APTT-HTO-characterized by more posteromedial positioning, a more favorable screw trajectory, and improved plate-bone apposition-compared with a conventional T-shaped plate. These findings warrant confirmation in larger, prospective studies.
