What is Medial and lateral gonarthrosis treated with high tibial osteotomy: A prospective study about?

A prospective series comprising 52 knees in 48 patients suffering from medial or lateral unicompartmental gonarthrosis and treated by means of high tibial osteotomy shows, by comparing mechanical axis (MA) O °corrected knees, how important is the overcorrection of the MA into valgus in medial osteoarthritis The clinical results were significantly correlated to overcorrection, the results 2 years postoperatively being better than those obtained at a follow-up 1 year after the operation Of the results, 82 % were good within a limit of ± 3 °after 2 years, while only 77 % were correspondingly good 1 year postoperatively In lateral gonarthrosis overcorrection was not as good, but there was a mean overcorrection of + 2 °, and with respect to this overcorrection, the results were quite acceptable The results were directly correlated to the opening up of the joint space affected ( 80 %) and diminution or disappearance of subluxation, 1/3 being O °preoperatively, /2 postoperatively in medial gonarthrosis In lateral gonarthrosis, subluxation was increased, with 2/3 being O °preoperatively, 1/3 being O °postoperatively. The extension deficit in varus knees significantly diminished after valgu
