Abstract
The high tibial osteotomy (HTO) is one attainable management of varus knee osteoarthritis. Particularly aimed at the young and active patient population. This procedure can alleviate the symptoms and restore alignment, which may significantly defer the requirement for knee arthroplasty in the future time. Close-wedge high tibial osteotomy (CW-HTO) is an effective option with minimal complication rate. Choosing between an open-wedge HTO, close-wedge HTO, or unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) for medial compartmental knee arthritis should be tailored to patients’ preoperative conditions and surgeons’ preferences. There is no clear evidence that one surgical method is superior to the other.
