| Abstract | ||
| Osteoarthritis (OA) of the medial compartment, where the lateral compartment and patella-femoral joint are relatively spared, is a common orthopaedic presentation. Most frequently, the treatment of choice would be a total knee replacement, which involves removing healthy joint surfaces in such patients. Arthroscopic debridement in the osteoarthritic knee has fallen out of favour due to poor clinical results. High tibial osteotomy (HTO) is the workhorse surgical procedure for treating medial knee OA. When performed precisely in the hands of an experienced surgeon, HTO can delay or avoid knee arthroplasty. Of course, the outcomes of knee arthroplasty are at best unpredictable in patients of younger age. Hence, there is a growing need for joint preservation procedures for younger patients presenting with knee OA, of which HTO is one. | ||
