Abstract
Use of a ceramic wedge to fill high tibial medial open-wedge osteotomy gap is a reliable reproducible technique providing correction without formation of a malalignment callus. Bone healing is achieved in 98.5% of the cases at about three months. Osteointegration is good in 96%. Resorption is complete and rapid when the substitute is implanted in granular form in a cancellous zone and is partial and slow when implanted as a massive wedge.
