In a prospective study of 96 knees (94 patients) with osteoarthrosis, 53 were treated conservatively as control groups. High tibial osteotomy was done in 43 knees, 22 were treated with closing wedge technique and 21 with barrel vault technique. Operated group as a whole had significantly better knee scores at 4 year follow up. There was no significant difference in results of two techniques with respect to knee scores. Lateral ligament laxity was not found to be a significant problem with either technique. |
