Abstract

ACL insufficiency can be caused by different reasons. Elevated posterior tibial slope is a deformity which is discussed to have relevant influence on the outcome of ACL surgery. A increased posterior tibial slope of 12° or more leads to significant more ACL insufficiency. The surgical therapy of this pathology is a high tibial extension osteotomy. Publications ashowing a clinical follow up and results of this surgery are rare. In this video the technique of a closed wedge high tibial extension osteotomy is shown. Osteosynthesis is performed with two screws and an anklestable plate osteosynthesis. An arthroscopy with bone graft filling of the femoral ACL tunnel is performed first, followed by filling of the tibial tunnel in an open approach.
