Short-term Outcomes of High Tibial Osteotomy Using a Plate Versus a Plate With an Interbody Fusion Cage in Adolescent Tibia Vara : a Comparative Study

Egypt25 participantsStarted 2025-10-06

Plain-language summary

Tibia vara is a progressive angular deformity of the lower limb centered at the proximal tibial physis, producing a characteristic bowing of the leg. The condition is believed to result from an abnormal distribution of biomechanical stresses combined with an underlying genetic predisposition. (1) Excessive mechanical loading on the medial portion of the proximal tibial growth plate leads to asymmetric physeal activity, ultimately causing a pathologic varus deformity of the tibia.(²)

Inclusion Criteria: * Adolescents aged \[10-18\] years diagnosed with tibia vara. * Symptomatic varus deformity centered at the proximal tibia requiring surgical correction. * Both sexes included * Open or transitional growth plates are suitable for HTO. Exclusion Criteria: * Prior tibial realignment surgery on the same side. * Ages below 10 years or above 18 years * Active infection, progressive metabolic disorder (e.g., rickets) or skeletal dysplasia, neuromuscular disorder, or systemic inflammatory arthritis. * Complex deformities need external fixation as the first-line treatment. * Patients with chronic comorbidities. * Associated with fractures in the same limb
