A jig for pin insertion in the performance of high tibial osteotomy.
The crucial step in high tibial osteotomy is to translate the computed angle of correction into a bone wedge outlined by 2 Kisrchner wires to guide the surgery. The wedge can be excised with precision in 2 planes. A jig facilitates accurate placement of the pins to correspond exactly to the predetermined angles.
