Purpose: The optimal hinge position to prevent hinge fractures in medial closing wedge distal femoral osteotomy (MCWDFO) based on the biomechanical background has not yet been well examined. This study aimed to examine the appropriate hinge position in MCWDFO using finite element (FE) analysis to prevent hinge fractures.
Methods: Computer-aided design (CAD) models were created using composite replicate femurs. FE models of the MCWDFO with a 5° wedge were created with three different hinge positions: (A) 5 mm proximal to the proximal margin of the lateral epicondylar region, (B) proximal margin level and (C) 5 mm distal to the proximal margin level. The maximum and minimum principal strains in the cortical bone were calculated for each model. To validate the FE analysis, biomechanical tests were performed using composite replicate femurs with the same hinge position models as those in the FE analysis.
Results: In the FE analysis, the maximum principal strains were in the order of Models A > B > C. The highest value of maximum principal strain was observed in the area proximal to the hinge. In the biomechanical test, hinge fractures occurred in the area proximal to the hinge in Models A and B, whereas the gap closed completely without hinge fractures in Model C. Fractures occurred in an area similar to where the highest maximal principal strain was observed in the FE analysis.
Conclusion: Distal to the proximal margin of the lateral epicondylar region is an appropriate hinge position in MCWDFO to prevent hinge fractures.
Level of Evidence: Level V.
