Abstract
A follow-up study of open wedge high tibial osteotomy was reported.23 knees in 18 patients were evaluated clinically and radiologically with an average period of 5 years and 4 months after the operation. More than 60% of them were good in result. Factors contributing to the poor result were analysed and advantages and disadvantages were discussed.Highly progressed arthrosis and patello-femoral arthrosis were the two factors producing the poor results. Under-correction of varus deformity also caused poor results.In this method, delayed union and postoperative recurrence of varus deformity were the main complications which were considered to occur after inadequate bone graft.
