O 088 - Evaluation of pre- and postoperative gait parameters after derotation osteotomy of the tibia taking into account the intraoperative derotation value

In case of persistent tibia rotational deformities (TTA) with functional constraints, surgical correction by tibial rotational osteotomy (TRO) is recommended. Previous works have been shown effects of TRO on certain gait parameters for patients with TTA [1]. Different fixation techniques are applied (plate fixation, k-wire, external fixator or pedi nail). The study by Geisb üsch et.al [2] showed that the intraoperative measurement and fixation of the plate could lead to a different degree of derotation than planned.
