Abstract
In the era of Joint replacement surgery, Medial High Tibial Osteotomy is a time tested and successful surgical procedure for treatment of mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis. The success of this procedure lies in proper patient selection, an excellent surgical technique, a rigid internal fixation and early rehabilitation. There are a lots of research articles published in literature, many systematic reviews and meta-analysis on this specific topic. In this review article we discuss mainly the recent trends in the medial open wedge osteotomy for treatment of knee osteoarthritis.
