Results of high tibial osteotomy for varus gonarthrosis of the knee joint

ABSTRACT

31 high tibial osteotomies [in 30 patients] for varus gonarthrosis performed between 1985 - 1990 were evaluated to determine correction of deformity, functional results and subjective impression. 25 patients had satisfactory follow up evaluations. Factors contributing to success included careful patient selection, over-correction of the limb deformity and precise surgical technique
