Overview

Retrospective cohort study investigates impact of lateral hinge fracture on knee outcomes, highlighting rehabilitation challenges.

Key Points

  • To investigate how lateral hinge fracture affects early recovery and alignment after medial opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy.
  • Retrospective cohort study with 154 patients
  • Compared outcomes between patients with (n=12) and without lateral hinge fractures
  • Assessed recovery using KOOS and VAS scores, plus CT for PTS and JLCA
  • 0% of patients with LHF achieved independent weight-bearing by 24 weeks versus median 17 weeks in non-LHF group (p < 0.001)
  • LHF was a significant negative predictor of 6-month KOOS (β = − 0.493, p < 0.001)
  • LHF cases showed increased PTS (13.17 ± 1.37 vs. 8.95 ± 2.09, p < 0.001)
