Résumé
An 18-year-old adolescent boy presented with knee pain and stiffness secondary to tibial plateau valgus malunion and osteochondral defect, 8 months after initial injury/fixation. We opted for a novel technique that reconstructs the convex lateral tibial plateau by using osteotomy and an osteochondral autograft harvested from the lateral aspect of the ipsilateral femoral condyle. The reported novel reconstruction technique is inexpensive, achievable with routine techniques, and demonstrated a favorable short-term outcome. At 3 years of follow-up, the patient had excellent, asymptomatic, left knee mobility and function with radiographic evidence of mild posttraumatic arthritis despite normal knee alignment.
