Figure Lengend Snippet: Curves of the force versus the displacements in cases of TomoFix std1. The final rupture of the specimen occurred quite promptly after the crack formations, which were characterized by a drop in the registered applied force. The crack and the ultimate loads were considered as the approximate loads at the moment the crack formations and collapse of the contralateral cortex occurred respectively

Article Title: Medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy in patients with posttraumatic medial tibial plateau bone defect: A case report

doi: 10.1016/j.ijscr.2017.10.020

Figure Lengend Snippet: Case 2: (A) Meticulous deep soft tissue dissection was performed in the medial side of the left knee to expose the crater of the bone defect. (B) Horizontal dimension of the crater was 6 cm. (C) Vertical dimension of the crater was 3 cm. (D) Femoral head allograft was prepared to fit the medial bone defect. (E) Medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy was performed with the allograft temporarily fixed in position using multiple Kirschner wires. (F) Remnant femoral head allograft was inserted into the osteotomy gap, and TomoFix plate was inserted to stabilize both the grafted proximal allograft and osteotomy site.

Article Snippet: Because the unfitting contour of the allograft was pushing the proximal locking holes of the TomoFix plate (TomoFix Osteotomy System; DePuy-Synthes) to face upward, first, we inserted three proximal locking screws ahead to confer them as safe and long trajectory as possible under the articular surface.

(B) Osteotomy gap was gradually distracted using the distractor. (C) Plate fixation was complete with allograft augmentation on the medial tibial defect and in the osteotomy gap. (D–F) Alignment correction was checked intraoperatively using metal rod.
