Biomechanical effect of a lateral hinge fracture for a medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy: finite element study

Abstract Background This study aimed to investigate the biomechanical effect on the Takeuchi classification of lateral hinge fracture (LHF) after an opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (HTO). Methods We performed an FE simulation for type I, type II, and type III in accordance with the Takeuchi clas...
