• Introduction

The LOQTEQ® High Tibia Osteotomy Plate 4.5 is part of the LOQTEQ® portfolio and unifies angular stability with modern

plate design. The corrective osteotomy of the tibial head is characteristic of joint-preserving corrections of tibial malposi-

tions. Despite its short design, the LOQTEQ® High Tibia Osteotomy Plate 4.5 ensures stable fixation of open-wedge osteo-

tomies and can therefore speed up postoperative mobilization through a smaller access and excellent angular stability.

Material

For the manufacture of angle stable plate systems materials are used which have been proven to be successful in

medical technology for decades. The anatomical plates and bone screws are made of titanium alloy.

All materials employed comply with national and international standards. They are characterized by good bio-

compatibility, a high degree of safety against allergic reactions and good mechanical properties.

Description

• High stability thanks to four locking screws in the plate head

• Fitted targeting device guarantees a safe placement of drill guides

at the preset angle

• High stability in the area of critical load thanks to an evenly rounded

transition from head to shaft

• Symmetrical plate in one length

• 4.5 mm locking screws are applied to round locking holes

• The flattened end of the plate shaft enables the tissue-conserving,

submuscular insertion of the plate

Preoperative Planning

• This surgical technique describes tibial head osteotomy using the example of the open-wedge method. Precise pre-

operative planning is essential for a successful procedure. This requires detailed knowledge of the anatomic and me-

chanical leg axes. For this purpose, take an image of the entire leg under load in AP view and proceed as follows:

1. Determine the mechanical

leg axis (Mikulicz line).

For this purpose, draw a

straight line from the center

of the femoral head (A) to

the middle of the talocrural

joint (B).

2. Determine the desired

weight-bearing line. From

the center of the femoral

head (A), draw the line

through the Fujisawa point

(C) lateral to the preopera-

tive center of the knee

joint (60%) to the postope-

rative talocrural joint (D).

3. Determine the center of

rotation (e) laterally, in the

proximal third of the tibio-

fibular joint but at least

15 mm below the joint line.

4. Connect the center of

rotation with the preopera-

tive endpoint (A) and the

planned endpoint of the

mechanical axis (D) and

determine the resulting

angle. This angle (α) should

correspond to the open

wedge osteotomy.

7Surgical TechniqueHigh Tibia Osteotomy Plate 4.5

Positioning

• The patient is positioned supine on a radiolucent operating table. Ensure that the leg to receive surgery can be

placed in 90 degree flexion and complete extension.

• The surgery is performed in approx. 20° flexion to protect neurovascular structures. To facilitate access to the medial

aspect of the proximal tibia, extend the other leg and position it slightly lower. Intraoperatively, you must be able to

easily extend the leg to check the leg axis. A tourniquet may be placed.

N NOTE:

Ensure that the head of femur and the ankle can be viewed under fluoroscopy.

Start the osteotomy immediately above the pes anserinus. Ensure that there is enough space to easily place all proximal

screws and that they do not project into the osteotomy gap.

Conventional planning software can very clearly demonstrate the exact correction angles, incision depth of the osteo-

tomy and the resulting height of the osteotomy.

N NOTE:

Planning software does not replace thorough planning and in-depth surgeon training on correcting axial

malalignments.

Access

• Slightly bend the leg. Place an incision just above the tibial tube-

rosity along the upper margin of the pes anserinus to the poste-

romedial edge of the medial tibial plateau.

• For access, perform the following steps:

1. Exposure of the pes anserinus and the superficial part of the

medial collateral ligament.

2. Mobilization of the medial collateral ligament and release of

the superficial part using a raspatory.

3. Insertion of the radiolucent soft tissue retractor between the

medial collateral ligament and tibia.

4. Detachment of the periosteum along the planned osteotomy.

N NOTE:

This exposure (see figure) is important to determine precisely

the course of the osteotomy.

• Screw the angle stable spacers (green) into the respective holes

(see figure).

• The spacers are intended to prevent irritation of the pes anserinus.

• Install the aiming device on the plate using the fixing screw.

N NOTE:

A thread holds the fixing screw in the aiming device.

For cleaning purposes, the screw must be screwed out of

the aiming device. For this purpose, apply slight pressure

onto the screw from the underside of the aiming device and

remove the screw.

• Place the knee in 20° flexion and adjust the fluoroscope in such a

way as to enable an AP view of the tibia.

• Under fluoroscopic monitoring, insert a K-wire ø2.5 into the

head of tibia in accordance with the planned osteotomy. For this

purpose, start over the pes anserinus, target the head of fibula

and insert to the opposite cortical bone.

N NOTE:

Under fluoroscopic monitoring, check the position of the K-wire.

If its positioning is not satisfactory, a second wire can be placed

directly next to it and compared with the first one under fluoros-

copic monitoring. Then remove the wrongly positioned K-wire.

N NOTE:

Ensure that enough space remains proximal to the osteotomy

to place the screws.

• Insert the parallel drill guide (IU- 8190-25) over the K-wire to the

bone and insert a second K-wire along the planned osteotomy.

Under fluoroscopy, position the K-wires above one another.

N NOTE:

The sagittal inclination of the osteotomy should be parallel to

the tibial plateau.

• To determine the cutting depth, measure the depth of the inser-

ted K-wires using the measuring device for K-wires. Subtract

10 mm from the measured value for the opposite cortical bone.

Mark the determined value on the saw blade (e.g. with sterile pen

or Steri-Strip).

N NOTE:

In case of rotation correction or slope correction, parallel

K-wires or Steinmann pins can be inserted into the proximal

and distal fragments.

Osteotomy

• Using an oscillating saw, start below the K-wires and saw to the

marked depth along the K-wires. Ensure that the dorsal cortical

bone is completely sawed through. Do not sever the tuberosity.

• After completing the transverse cut to the planned depth, per-

form the anterior cut using a thin saw blade. This cut is perfor-

med continuously from the medial through the lateral cortical

bone. Depending on the osteotomy height and position of the

patella (Caton index), it can be performed proximally or distally.

N NOTE:

Proceed slowly. Cool the saw blade using irrigation and ensure

that the saw blade does not slip off.

Avoid abrasion at the radiolucent soft tissue retractor. Proceed

slowly when sawing. The sawing depth can be checked using

fluoroscopy.

Opening the osteotomy gapusing a Lambotte chisel

• Using gentle mallet taps, carefully insert the first chisel to the

lateral bridge along the transverse saw cut. The depth equals the

sawed depth.

• Slowly insert the second chisel between the first chisel and the

K-wires. The second chisel should be inserted less deep than the

first one.

N CAUTION:

It is important to open the osteotomy slowly to avoid fracture

of the lateral cortical bone.

• To further spread the osteotomy, a third chisel may be inserted

between the first two chisels. Each additional chisel is inserted

slowly and less deeply, until the desired osteotomy angle has been

achieved.

INSTRUMENTS ART.-NO.Wedge gauge IU 7960-00

• While spreading, continuously check the result on the basis of the

preoperative plan.

• After removing the chisels, carefully exert valgus stress. To deter-

mine the gap’s opening height and to maintain the opening,

place the wedge gauge into the gap. If a neutral tibial slope is

desired, the wedge gauge should be inserted dorsally.

N NOTE:

When inserting the wedge gauge, proceed carefully and if

possible do not use mallet taps to avoid damaging the cortical

bone.

• The base height of the osteotomy gap can be read off the wedge

gauge; this height should equal the preoperatively determined

height.

N NOTE:

If anterior K-wires or Steinmann pins have been used, they can

also serve to check slope correction.

N NOTE:

Use fluoroscopic monitoring to check the gap with the leg ex-

tended, in two planes. Also note the tibial slope.

• The wedge gauges keep the osteotomy gap open at the desired

angle.

• Carefully remove the K-wires.

• Insert the prepared plate subcutaneously.

N NOTE:

The plate shaft should be approximately parallel to the tibial

diaphysis. Position the plate in such a way that screws can be

placed in all four proximal screw holes. The stabilizing part of

the plate (without holes) must bridge the gap.

• Screw a drill guide (blue) into the central proximal hole and in-

sert a reduction sleeve.

• Use a K-wire ø2.0 to temporarily fix in place the plate through the

reduction sleeve and use fluoroscopy to check the fit of the plate

as well as the course of the screws to be placed.

• Remove the spacer from the distal hole and replace it by a

locking screw. For this purpose, screw the threaded drill guide

(blue) for round holes into the hole.

• Drill to the desired depth bicortically or monocortically using a

drill bit ø3.8 (red-blue) for locking screws. Determine the drilling

depth using the depth gauge and tighten a locking screw (blue)

of appropriate length using the screwdriver T25 and the handle

with torque limiter.

N NOTE:

We recommend tightening the screws using the torque limiter.

Optimal fixation is reached once an audible click is heard.

• After removing the distal spacer, remove the proximal spacer and

replace it by a locking screw. For this purpose, screw the threaded

drill guide (blue) for round holes into the hole. Drill to the desired

depth using a drill bit ø3.8 (red-blue) for locking screws. Deter-

mine the drilling depth using the depth gauge and tighten a

• View the position of the plate and the correction results in two

planes under fluoroscopy.

• If the result is satisfactory, close the wound.

N NOTE:

The screwdrivers in the set (T25) are self-retaining. To achieve

maximum torque during screw removal, we recommend using

the appropriate explantation screwdriver (IU 7811-25). It al-

lows deeper penetration into the screw head and hence safe

screw removal. It can be ordered separately.

• The implant should be removed only after complete healing of the

osteotomy.

• Place an incision using the old scar.

N NOTE:

After manually loosening the screws, removal can be

performed in automated mode in a second step.

• With years of experience in the development and manufacture

of biomaterials for traumatology, orthopedics and spine surgery,

aap offers optimally harmonized product combinations for

various indications.

For better and more stable fracture healing, aap recommends

complete defect filling using bone substitute in addition to the

employed osteosynthesis.

Artosal® is the optimal product for use in corrective osteotomies,

particularly thanks to its special wedge shape and its hydroxy-

apatite (HA) and β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) composition.

• Artosal® is a fully synthetic osteoconductive bone substitute for

the reconstruction of aseptic bone defects and exhibits controlled

resorption.

With its ultra-porous and highly interconnected pore matrix,

Artosal® offers a similar strength as human cancellous bone and

supports the formation of the new natural bone. Artosal® can be

first coated with patient material to improve osseointegration.

Advantages

• Osteoconductive and completely biocompatible

• Very similar to the mineral component of human bone, with a

composition of 60% hydroxyapatite (HA) and 40% β-tricalcium

phosphate (β-TCP)

• Ultraporous with pore sizes of 200-800 μm

(average 250 – 400 μm)

• Interconnecting pore matrix is very similar to human cancellous

bone and particularly supports rapid and unlimited bone ingrowth

• Microporosity allows nutrient supply to the new bone

• Controlled resorbability after 1-2 years

• By products of absorption support osteoblast formation

and ingrowth

• Good adaptation to the defect size using existing surgical

instruments
