Finite element analysis of medial closing and lateral opening wedge osteotomies of the distal femur in relation to hinge fractures

Finite element analysis of medial closing and lateral opening wedge osteotomies of the distal femur in relation to hinge fractures

Abstract Purpose Intraoperative hinge fractures in distal femur osteotomies represent a risk factor for loss of alignment and non‐union. Using finite element analysis, the goal of this study was to investigate the influence of different hinge widths and osteotomy corrections on hinge fractures in me...
