- Anterior Slope Correction-Flexion Osteotomy in Traumatic Genu RecurvatumPublication . Ramos Marques, N; Morais, B; Barreira, M; Nóbrega, J; Ferrão, A; Torrinha Jorge, JA decreased posterior tibial slope has been associated with an increased risk of posterior cruciate ligament failure, anterior knee pain, and premature knee osteoarthritis. Trauma is a common cause of osseous genu recurvatum. Surgical management is recommended to correct the tibial slope and prevent knee pain and osteoarthritis progression. This article discusses our preferred treatment using a proximal tibial opening-wedge osteotomy for surgical management of genu recurvatum secondary to significant anterior tibial slope.
