ABSTRACT:
A system and method for performing an opening wedge osteotomy in a tibia, the system and method comprising (i) a positioning guide configured for aligning a portion of the positioning guide with a joint line of the tibia and for fixing the positioning guide to the tibia; (ii) a cutting guide configured to direct a cutting blade into the tibia so as to form a bone cut therein; (iii) a mechanical jack configured for placement into the bone cut in the tibia so as to distract the tibia at the bone cut; and (iv) a multi-part implant for supporting the open wedge osteotomy in the tibia, with a first component for disposition in a posterior portion of the open wedge osteotomy, a second component for disposition in an anterior portion of the open wedge osteotomy, and a connection device for selectively connecting the components to one another.
