High tibial osteotomy with bone graft has been performed.
Case Discussion
- high tibial osteotomy (HTO) is a well established procedure for treatment of medial compartment osteoarthritis and aims to transfer weightbearing to the less affected lateral compartment and delay the need for a total knee replacement
- reported post-operative complications specific to HTO include:
- intra-articular fracture
- plate fracture resulting in non-union
- non-union rate is ~2.5%
