| Popis: | Objectives High tibial osteotomy is an established surgical procedure for treatment of mal-aligned Varus knees due to medial compartment knee osteoarthritis. Aims are to evaluate whether post-operative axial alignment achieves good long-term results. Methods and results Literature search done and studies with a follow up period of 2 or more years were included. The mean postoperative mechanical axis varied widely from 3 to 16° with significant differences between the studies. Conclusion The results suggested that medial knee osteoarthritis can be treated successfully with HTO. The post-operative valgus angle should be between 3 and 13° of valgus to achieve good long-term results. |
