Medium- and long-term results of high tibial osteotomy using Garches external fixator and gait analysis for dynamic correction in varus osteoarthritis of the knee. (2016)
Journal Article

In arthritis of the varus knee, a high tibial osteotomy (HTO) redistributes load from the diseased medial compartment to the unaffected lateral compartment. We report the outcome of 36 patients (33 men and three women) with 42 varus, arthritic knees...

A multidirectional fracture stiffness model to determine the principal stiffness properties of a healing human tibia (2013)
Journal Article

A model for the stiffness of a fractured human tibia has been developed. The model is based on Mohr’s circle of inertia and relies on tibial fracture stiffness being measured in a number of planes. Using in vitro data, it has been shown that this mod... Read More about A multidirectional fracture stiffness model to determine the principal stiffness properties of a healing human tibia.
