Abstract
AIM AND OBJECTIVES: 1. To study clinicoradiological findings in cases of Medial compartment osteoarthrosis of knee joint. 2. To study Biomechanics of knee joint with special reference to knee in osteoarthrosis. 3. To compare the results with other available series METHODOLOGY: The patients for the present study of A clinical study of role of Medial opened wedge tibial osteotomy in medial compartment osteoarthrosis of knee were selected from cases of osteoarthrosis of knees attending Orthopaedic O.P.O. of Pravara Rural Hospital, Loni India. Clinical and radiological assesement and grading was done. Results: Osteoarthrosis of knee joint we found to be common in patients between 45 to 65 years of age (82.60%), in over weighted patients it was earlier and was more severe. Majority Le. 69.57% patients were females and 31.43% were males. Most of the patients had right sided involvement (65.22%). In Medial compartment osteoarthrosis varus deformity of varying degree was commonly found. Most of the patients had complaints about osteoarthrosis of more than 1 year duration (69.57%). Many of the patients of present study had patella femoral arthritis (43.48%) and could be responsible, at least to some extent, for the persistent or recurrence of pain following osteotomy. In the present study 52.81 % patients had 5 to 8degree varus angulation and one patient had 2degree of valgus angulation pre-operatively. Results of the present series are comparable to other published series of high tibial osteotomies.
