Tóm tắt

INTRODUCTION: A tricortical iliac crest graft can be used to reconstruct the lateral proximal tibial articular surface. METHODS/SURGICAL TECHNIQUE: Anterior tricortical iliac crest autograft from the ipsilateral pelvis is harvested to approximate the contour of the native tibial plateau. A lateral proximal tibial locking plate is used to fix the bony construct to the surrounding native bone. CASE REPORT: Functionally, patients have been able to return to ambulation with and without an assistive device. CONCLUSION: Reconstruction of the joint surface with a tricortical iliac crest graft represents a novel surgical technique that may delay the need for arthroplasty and preserve bone stock for eventual knee replacement.
