The lock plate is a new surgical instrument for fractures. In this study, we compared the duration of hospitalization for high tibial osteotomy using the lock plate and that using the blade staple (the latter performed between November 2002 and June 2003) at our hospital. Between January 2004 and September 2004, 15 patients underwent high tibial osteotomy using the lock plate for medial osteoarthritis of the knee. They consisted of one man and 14 woman with a mean age of 67 years (range: 54 to 80 years). The patients were allowed passive range of motion and full weight bearing two days after osteotomy. Osteotomy using lock plate decreased the duration of hospitalization 84 days to 52 days. High tibial osteotomy using lock plate requires information on its unique systems.
