Abstract
Method for rotating and increasing a distance of a patella from the trochlea of a subject includes creating an osteotomy in a tibia of the subject, and inserting, along an axis of insertion, an orthopedic implant into the osteotomy, bone graft material being coupled to the orthopedic implant. The method also includes rotating a patella of the subject, via a patellar tendon of the subject, about the axis of insertion, by rotating a tuberosity of the tibia of the subject about the axis of insertion, and increasing a distance of the patella from a trochlea of a femur of the subject, via the patellar tendon of the subject, by pivoting the tuberosity of the tibia with respect to a point of contact between the tuberosity of the tibia and another portion of the tibia. The implant is shaped to define one or more passageways passing through the implant.
