Abstract
There is a resurgence of interest in HTO to treat young to middle aged patients with varus alignment and isolated medial joint osteoarthritis. With improvements in implant design and preoperative planning methods, good outcomes are reported in multiple studies. But the most important factor for a successful outcome is patient selection. The ideal patient would be a middle-aged patient with isolated medial joint arthritis with good range of movements, non-smoker and with reasonable functional status of knee. The indications of HTO are evolving to include patients in higher age groups, with minimal to moderate patellofemoral symptoms and varying amounts of flexion deformities. It is also increasingly being performed as a joint protective surgery following meniscus repairs and cartilage repair procedures and to correct abnormal joint alignment following neglected ligamentous injuries.
