Proximal tibial osteotomies for the medial compartment arthrosis of the knee: a historical journey
نویسندگان
چکیده
Several proximal tibial osteotomy techniques for the medial compartment arthrosis of the knee are described and traced in their development. These techniques are of the closed wedge, dome and open wedge types. We detail the differences in planning and surgery as well the need for different fixation devices. This historical and technical description will benefit those surgeons wishing to undertake the procedure as an alternative to joint replacement strategies.

Introduction: Excellent results are obtained with high tibial osteotomy in patients suffering from the osteoarthritis of the medial compartment of the knee however, poor results have been reported in 10 to 50 percent of the cases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the probable factors influencing the outcome of high tibial osteotomy to let us select the proper cases for this surgery. Pa...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to conduct a prospective outcome analysis of proximal tibial opening wedge osteotomies performed in young and middle-aged patients (aged <55 years) for the treatment of symptomatic medial compartment osteoarthritis of the knee. METHODS A consecutive series of young and middle-aged adults who underwent proximal tibial opening wedge osteotomies for symptoma...

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...

Background: Posterior tibial slope (PTS) is an important factor in the knee joint biomechanics and one of the bone features, which leads to knee joint stability. Posterior tibial slope affects flexion gap, knee joint stability and posterior femoral rollback that are related to wide range of knee motion. During high tibial osteotomy and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) surgery, proper retaining the...
متن کاملHigh tibial osteotomy for the treatment of unicompartmental arthritis of the knee.
Knee axial deformities associated with medial or lateral compartment osteoarthritis can be reliably addressed with high tibial osteotomies. Different surgical techniques can be successfully used for achieving the correction. Whatever the technique used, accurate patient selection and precise surgical procedure are critical to the success of the operation. The authors believe that proximal tibia...
