Abstract
Clinical indications for distal tibial osteotomies are rare and information on fixation techniques is limited. This article reviews a retrospective study of 4 patients who underwent 5 distal tibial open-wedge osteotomies stabilized with a Puddu plate. All osteotomies healed within 3 months with no incidence of malunion, nonunion, or fixation failure and all deformities were adequately corrected. The Puddu plate (Arthrex Inc, Naples, Fla) provides secure fixation for open-wedge distal tibial osteotomies with accurate and reproducible results.
