Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

A case report is presented of the rare complication of a stress fracture of the tibia following a high tibial osteotomy. The stress fracture is thought to result from: Local osteoporosis; abnormal stress secondary to the malunion of the tibial osteotomy; fibula non union resulting in impairment of the tibia to withstand cyclic loading with weight bearing.
