ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Unidirectional porous β-tricalcium phosphate (UDPTCP) consists of a novel porous artificial bone that is structurally different from conventional artificial bone comprised of spherical porous β-tricalcium phosphate (SPTCP).Case presentation We present our first four clinical cases of opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) using UDPTCP and SPTCP together. The patients’ mean age was 54.5 ± 5.9 years, and the mean observation period was 20.8 ± 2.8 months. In OWHTO, two wedge shaped pieces of UDPTCP and SPTCP were cut to fit the gap and implanted parallel to each other in the anterior and posterior parts, respectively. We evaluated the correction loss and bone remodeling for UDPTCP and SPTCP over time using radiography and computed tomography, and evaluated the clinical outcomes.Conclusion:
There was no correction loss reported in any case, and early bone remodeling was observed with UDPTCP. All patients achieved satisfactory clinical results with no adverse events.
