Background: There are limited studies regarding the effects of high tibial osteotomy (HTO) on other areas of lower extremity. In current study, we investigated the changes of tibiotalar joint following HTO. Methods: A total of 39 patients with genu varum requiring HTO were enrolled in this before and after study. The genu varus, joint diversion (JDA), lateral distal tibial (LDTA) and lateral d...

The effect of high tibial osteotomy on the upper tibial venous pattern in primary painful osteoarthritis of the knee joint was studied by preoperative and three to six months postoperative intraosseous phlebograms. The normal phlebographic pattern was established by phlebograms in five patients with normal knees. The preoperative engorgement, tortuosity of the medullary sinusoids, and slow dye ...

Abstract Background Medial open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (HTO) is an effective and safe treatment method for medial osteoarthritis of the knee. However, unintended changes in posterior slope (PTS) may occur. Several factors cause PTS alterations after HTO; however, research on sagittal-plane inclination (SPOI) relation to sparse. The purpose this study was evaluate whether SPOI affects HTO. ...

We report a case of acquired genu recurvatum treated with a proximal tibial flexion osteotomy. A partial growth arrest at the anterior portion of the proximal tibial physis following a conservatively treated Meyers-McKeever type II injury of the tibial eminence. This is a reliable method in the correction of genu recurvatum. By using tricortical autogenous iliac crest graft, the osteotomy may b...

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...

Open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (HTO) is an established technique for the treatment of symptomatic varus malaligned knees. In this study, we prospectively followed up 13 patients (14 knees) who underwent navigation system-supported HTO for varus knee deformity. Preoperatively all patients underwent a physical examination, and anteroposterior and laterolateral lower limb weight-bearing digital ...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to compare the results of Aescula and TomoFix plates used for biplanar open wedge high tibial osteotomy in medial osteoarthritis of the knee joint with varus deformity. METHODS A consecutive series of 50 cases of biplanar open wedge high tibial osteotomy were evaluated retrospectively. Group A contained 25 cases treated by using the Aescula plate, and ...
