Background and purpose Tibial osteotomy by the hemicallotasis technique (HCO) requires strong pin fixation. We compared pin fixation in HCO using a new self-drilling XCaliber pin (Orthofix) with optimized thread and tip design, with the commonly used standard pin (Orthofix). Patients and methods 50 patients, mean age 51 (35-66) years, to be treated by HCO were randomized to standard pins or XCalib
