A meta-analysis and systemic review Marcel Budhi Santoso and Lidong Wu* Abstract Background: Debate remains whether high tibial osteotomy (HTO) or unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is more beneficial for the treatment of unicompartmental knee osteoarthritis. The purpose of this study was to compare the functional results, knee scores, activity levels, and complications between the two procedures. Methods: We performed a systematic review of published literature from August 1982 through January 2017. Fifteen papers reporting three prospective randomized trials were subjected to a meta-analysis. Results: No significant difference between the two groups was noted with respect to free walking (velocity), knee score, deterioration of the contralateral or patellofemoral knee, or revision rate and total knee arthroplasty. However, UKA produced better outcomes compared to HTO in terms of the functional results, pain assessment, and complications, although patients who underwent HTO tended to have slightly better range of motion. Conclusions: Valgus HTO provides better physical activity for younger patients whereas UKA is more suitable for older patients due to shorter rehabilitation time and faster functional recovery. Although UKA patients tended to have improved overall long-term outcomes, which may be due to accurate indications and patient selection, both treatment options yielded pleasing results. Therefore, we are unable to conclude that either method is superior. Keywords: High tibial osteotomy (HTO), Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA), Osteoarthritis, Meta-analysis Background Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) was first The management of degenerative osteoarthritis (OA) introduced in the 1970s [4] as an alternative to total aims to provide symptomatic relief and to promote knee knee arthroplasty (TKA) or HTO for single- function, which may be done conservatively or by means compartment OA.

Abstract: Osteotomies around the knee are procedures that have shown excellent results to treat unicompartmental arthritis delaying the need for knee replacement. Despite the good results, benefits generally deteriorate with time leading to a total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for progression of osteoarthritis and involvement of the other compartments. Conversion of osteotomy to TKA is more surgically demanding compared with a primary prosthesis; in this paper, we analyze surgical difficulties that surgeons can found to perform TKA after an osteotomy around the knee; according to the literature we analyze surgical steps that can differ from standard primary surgery, including skin incision, hardware removal, residual tibial and femoral deformities and balancing of soft tissue.

  • Patient Information for Knee Osteotomy Surgery
    Patient information for knee osteotomy surgery Introduction Osteoarthritis (‘wear and tear’) of the knee joint is common and can cause considerable pain and sometimes deformity of the joint. Normally when we are walking or standing, the weight goes through the centre of our knee. Unfortunately, when wear and tear affects one side of the joint, it can cause a bow leg or a knock knee. When this happens the weight is taken by the worn part of the joint, which can become more and more painful over time. This can be seen when looking at the x-rays below. On the left the weight is going through the centre of the knees and on the right it is going through the inner part of the knees, which are worn with bow legs. Normal alignment Knock knees Page 1 of 4 Treatment Early treatment can involve the use of painkillers, physical therapy, injections and weight loss, but when these options no longer control the pain adequately, a major surgical procedure may be required. Often, it is a joint replacement that is required, but this can sometimes be regarded as a risk in a young and relatively active patient due to concerns that the joint replacement may ‘wear out’ in the future, needing further surgery. Osteotomy surgery is an option that can be used instead of performing a joint replacement, particularly when the wear and tear is confined to only one side of the knee joint. The principle is that the leg is re-aligned so that more weight goes through the good side of the knee rather than the bad side that has the wear and tear.
