A method of performing a tibial tubercle osteotomy includes cutting a bone portion of a tibial tubercle from a remaining portion of the tibial tubercle, at least a portion of a patella ligament being attached to the bone portion. The bone portion of the tibial tubercle is separated from the remaining portion of the tibial tubercle such that the patella ligament remains attached to the bone portion. After completing a surgical procedure, the separated bone portion of the tibial tubercle is reattached to the remaining portion of the tibial tubercle.

L'invention porte sur une méthode permettant de réaliser une ostéotomie du tubercule tibial. L'ostéotomie comprend le sectionnement d'une partie du tubercule tibial et au moins une partie du ligament patellaire fixé sur l'os. La partie osseuse est séparée du tubercule tibial tout en gardant le ligament patellaire rattaché à l'os. Après l'intervention chirurgicale, la partie osseuse séparée est fixée de nouveau au reste du tubercule tibial.
