Abstract
Main intention of the research is to understand about significance of techniques associated with HTO. This research reviewed the techniques of high tibial osteotomy namely high tibial osteotomy, open wedge high tibial osteotomy, closedhigh tibial osteotomy. Patients who are suffering from knee arthritis, high tibial osteotomy assists to prevent or delay the requirement for total or partial replacement of knee to preserve damaged tissue of joint. High tibial osteotomy technique is mainly suitable for active and young patients with knee osteoarthritis. Age plays a main factor in success rate of high tibial osteotomy technique. It could be done in open wedge or closed wedge high tibial osteotomy. For some cases, surgery could be done in combined method (open wedge and closed wedge high tibial osteotomy). When compared with clinical outcomes of closed wedge high tibial osteotomy and open wedge high tibial osteotomy, open wedge high tibial osteotomy performs well in reducing the pain, duration of weight-bearing and return to normal life as soon as possible.

Summary
Joint in knee is main and complicated joint for motion and load, entailing the PF (patellofemoral) joint and TF (tibiofemoral) joint. Loads given on tibiofemoral joint are sometimes over BW (body weight) during every day activities and average high forces for resultant were peak when climbing down the stair (346 percent BW), climbing up the stairs (316 percent BW) and walking level (261 percent BW). Force distribution between medial and lateral is relied on TF alignment and differs within various tasks like weight-bearing [1]. 75 percent of load in joint passes through plateau of medial tibial at the time of single-leg stance [4]
