Abstrakt: Background: This study aimed to investigate the clinical and radiological progression of the patients who underwent proximal fibular partial excision (PFPE) for medial compartment knee osteoarthritis.
Methods: Patients with medial compartment knee osteoarthritis who did not benefit from conservative treatment and accepted the PFPE surgery were involved in this study. Patients with traumatic arthritis, inflammatory arthritis, previous lower extremity fractures, valgus malalignment of the knee, and infection at the planned surgical site, however, were kept apart. Patients were assessed both clinically by Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and American Knee Society Score (AKSS), radiologically by Kellgren Lawrence classification, tibiofemoral angle, and joint-line convergence angle (JLCA). The patients were systematically assessed especially in the sixth month and first, second, and third years of the post-operative period.
Results: A total of 35 patients (mean age: 56.5, min: 45, max: 79) were involved in this study. The mean follow-up period was 22.4 months (min: 6, max: 36). It has been observed that: Statistically significant decrease in VAS and increase in AKSS after PFPE (p < 0.001) No statistically significant improvement in preoperative and postoperative tibiofemoral angle and JLCA measurements CONCLUSIONS: The PFPE is a safe and effective surgical treatment for pain relief and functional improvement in medial compartment knee osteoarthritis. More studies are needed on its mechanism of action, long-term effects, and comparison with other treatment options.
