Amedeo Guarino, Tomás Pineda, Edoardo Giovannetti de Sanctis, ReSurg, David Dejour
Abstract
The original technique for tibial deflexion osteotomy (TDO) was first described by Henri Dejour during the Lyon knee meeting in 1991 to reduce excessive posterior tibial slope during second revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). The technique is nowadays increasingly performed during first-revision ACLR in patients at risk for graft retear. This Technical Note describes and updates the original TDO technique.
