The document discusses various treatment options for osteoarthritis of the knee, including high tibial osteotomy (HTO) and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). It provides details on the surgical techniques, prerequisites, advantages, and disadvantages of both HTO (open vs closed wedge) and UKA. Key points covered include the ideal candidates for HTO, factors for successful osteotomy, complications rates between open vs closed wedge HTO, and that UKA provides better long-term functional results compared to HTO. Non-operative treatments such as weight loss, exercise and bracing are also summarized.
High tibial osteotomy (HTO) is a common and widely accepted procedure in orthopaedic surgery. In the literature, we find descriptions of the technique dating back to the 50s, with Jackson (Jackson, 1958). However, it was not until the 70s, with the publications of Conventry (Coventry, 1969 and 1973) and Insall (Insall, 1975), that proximal tibial osteotomy became common practice as a treatment option for medial compartment osteoarthritis of the knee usually associated to varus deformity. At that time, closing wedge osteotomies were performed, despite the greater technical difficulty and risks involved, as there were no fixation materials available that could enable opening wedge osteotomy. Only after the development of medial wedge plate fixation that opening wedge osteotomy became applicable (Puddu, 2004).
The goals of HTO are:
1. To reduce knee pain by transferring weight-bearing loads to the relatively unaffected compartment;
2. To increase the life span of the knee joint, by slowing or stopping the destruction of the medial joint compartment. This could delay the need of a joint replacement.
TKA in valgus knee is challenging procedure seen in up to 10% of cases undergoing TKA. The procedure involves meticulous pre operative planning and intra operative soft tissue release along with modifications in bone cuts for proper implant placement and long term results

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

strategies may include patient education, exercise,
weight loss, bracing, analgesia, non-steroidal antiinflammatory
drugs (NSAIDs) and possibly intra-articular
(IA) injections. Although many of these treatment methods
are employed the evidence for their benefit is mixed.
The mechanical theory for the increased prevalence of OA in obesity proposes that the extra force across a joint from increased body mass is the cause, however this theory is unlikely to explain the increased prevalence of OA found in the hands of those with a raised BMI [23]. Obesity is part of the diagnostic criteria for metabolic syndrome, which is linked with a chronic low-grade pro-inflammatory state [27]. This may provide a biochemical explanation for the link between obesity and OA [14]. Adipokines have been implicated as a potential mediator of this effect. Adipokines are cytokines that are predominantly released by adipose tissue into the bloodstream
Opening wedge. The weight-bearing line is determined by measuring from the point located at 62.5% of the width of the tibial plateau to the center of the femoral head and from that point on the tibial plateau to the center of the ankle. The angle formed at the intersection of these lines (ie, α angle) represents the angle of correction. The osteotomy line (ab) is defined from medial (≈4 cm below the joint line [a]) to lateral (tip of the fibular head [b]). The line segment ab is transferred to the rays of the α angle from the vertex to obtain line segments aibi and aic. The distance bic corresponds to the opening that should be achieved medially at the osteotomy site. This distance is measured in millimeters.
Tibial bone varus angle
(TBVA) is the angle between a
line from the centre of the tibial
spines to a point midway the
proximal tibia epiphysis, and

osteotomy.
A) The present mechanical axis is drawn from A, the
center of the femoral head, to B, the centre of the ankle
joint. Line B-C is of equal length as line A-B and passes the
knee just medial of the medial eminence representing the
desired postoperative mechanical axis.
B) The hinge point of the osteotomy (D) is marked just
proximal from the upper border of the lateral condyle and
0,5−1 cm within the lateral cortex. The angle of correction
(α) is defined by line A-D between the present femoral
head centre and the hinge point and line C-D connecting
the new femoral head center position and the hinge point.
C) Correction angle α is projected at the distal femur using
two oblique down sloping lines of equal length converging
at the hinge point. The distance measured between those
2 lines at the level of the medial cortex (arrows) represents
the osteotomy wedge base length to be removed during
surgery.
