Less risk of conversion to total knee arthroplasty without significant clinical and survivorship difference for opening-wedge high tibial osteotomies in varus knee deformities at 10-year minimum follow-up compared to closing-wedge high tibial osteotomies
Résumé
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes and survivorship at minimum 10-year follow-up of patients undergoing primary valgisation high tibial osteotomy (HTO) for medial osteoarthritis (OA), treated by Opening-Wedge HTO (OW-HTO) or Closing-Wedge HTO (CW-HTO).
