L-shaped tibial condylar valgus osteotomy for advanced medial knee osteoarthritis: A case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Case: A 63 year-old woman with bilateral severe medial knee osteoarthritis, huge cartilaginous defects, and severe varus-valgus instability was treated by tibial condylar valgus (TCV) osteotomy. Her preoperative point of the weight-bearing (mechanical) axis was right -19% and left -20%. After surgery, the mechanical axis was right 60% and left 61% with a high degree of patient satisfaction. Conclusion: The TCV osteotomy technique consists of an L-shape osteotomy from the medial aspect of the proximal tibia to the intercondylar eminence. Corrected limb alignment and improved joint congruity can distribute the weight bearing force, stabilize the joint, and relieve pain of advanced medial knee osteoarthritis.

متن کاملHigh tibial osteotomy: closed wedge versus combined wedge osteotomy
BACKGROUND High tibial osteotomy is a common procedure to treat symptomatic osteoarthritis of the medial compartment of the knee with varus alignment. This is achieved by overcorrecting the varus alignment to 2-6° of valgus. Various high tibial osteotomy techniques are currently used to this end. Common procedures are medial opening wedge and lateral closing wedge tibial osteotomies. The latera...
متن کاملCombination of bone marrow derived cells transplantation and high tibial osteotomy in early osteoarthritis of knee: A preliminary study
Purpose: high tibial osteotomy (HTO) is a recommended treatment for medial compartment knee osteoarthritis. Newer cartilage regenerative procedures may add benefits to the result of HTO. In this prospective study we investigate safety and also results of HTO associated with bone marrow derived cells (BMDC) transplantation in relatively young and middle aged active individuals with early osteoar...
