Supra tubercular tibial osteotomy and gradual correction with Taylor spatial frame for the management of Torsional malalignment syndrome - surgical technique and outcomes.
Knee 2022 November 19
BACKGROUND: Surgical management of Torsional Malalignment Syndrome (TMS) traditionally consists of simultaneous correction of both femoral anteversion and external tibial torsion. We hypothesise that a single supra tubercular osteotomy followed by tibial derotation with Taylor Spatial Frame (TSF) is sufficient to provide significant improvement in both appearance and function.
METHOD: This is a retrospective single surgeon case series performed at a tertiary referral centre in the UK. Data collected included patient demographics, clinical findings and CT rotational profile measurements. All patients completed pre and post-operative Oxford Knee Score (OKS) and Kujala Anterior Knee Pain Scale (AKPS) functional outcome scores for analysis.
RESULTS: There were 16 osteotomies in 11 patients with complete data sets for analysis performed between 2006 and 2017. Mean age of 16.7 ± 0.8 years. The results show significant improvements in post-operative functional assessment scores, with mean OKS increasing by 18.3 and mean AKPS increasing by 31.4. Average pre-operative thigh-foot angle (TFA) was 44.7°, this was reduced to 12.8° post-operatively, representing an average correction of 31.9°.
CONCLUSION: The results show that supra tubercular osteotomy, followed by gradual correction with TSF, can be used to provide a significant improvement in both appearance and function for patients suffering from TMS.
