A Critical Review of Proximal Fibular Osteotomy for Knee Osteoarthritis
The surgical management of Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA), so far, mainly revolved around arthroscopic procedures,arthroplasty (total: TKA and unicompartmental: UKA) or high tibial osteotomy (HTO). Recently, another minimallyinvasive surgical treatment of proximal fibular osteotomy (PFO) has been proposed for the management of KOA. ThePFO has been found to be useful in the manageme...

Compared with high tibial osteotomy and total knee arthroplasty, the authors found a simpler surgical procedure, partial fibular osteotomy, could effectively relieve knee pain and also correct the varus deformity for patients with medial compartment knee osteoarthritis (OA). From January 1996 to April 2012, a total of 156 patients with medial compartment OA were treated by proximal fibular oste...

1,2). This lower extremity realignment procedure is used to relieve pain and correct varus deformity of the knee joint. Preoperative planning to determine the correction gap and angle has a significant effect on postoperative results of HTO. However, postopera-tive correction can be incongruent with the preoperative plan, even with the use of a navigation system and computer imaging. In a clini...

Dome osteotomy of the tibia was performed for osteoarthritis of the medial knee compartment in 54 knees (48 patients). All patients were reviewed after a mean follow-up period of 5-7 years (range: 2 to 10 years). At follow-up, 42 knees (78 per cent) were rated good or excellent, according to the Hospital for Special Surgery Knee Service Rating System (H.S.S.). Twelve knees (22 per cent) were ra...
