Functional Outcome of High Tibial Osteotomy for Medial Compartment Osteoarthritis Knee
Abstract: Background: Osteoarthritis of knee is chronic debilitating disease-causing considerable disability which is increasing in incidence even in younger population. Global statistics reveal that osteoarthritis accounts for 3% of total global 'years lived with disability' and is associated with significant health and welfare costs. It influences day to day activities of person. Osteoarthritis commonly affects the medial compartment of knee giving rise to varus deformity in majority of cases. Significant varus deformity further aggravates the pathology due to medialisation of the weight bearing axis. HTO is a valuable treatment modality in correcting malalignment and thereby relieving the symptoms associated with medial unicompartmental osteoarthritis. Materials and Method: This was a prospective, observational cohort study conducted at the Orthopaedics Department of Navodaya Medical College Hospital and Research Centre, Raichur, between April 2023 and April 2024. A total of 20 patients aged 30? 65 years with symptomatic medial compartment osteoarthritis and varus deformity were enrolled through consecutive sampling. Patients underwent preoperative clinical and radiological assessments, followed by HTO surgery. Functional outcomes were evaluated using IKDC, KOOS, and Knee Society Scores at multiple follow-ups. Data collection was performed using structured case record forms, and statistical analysis included descriptive statistics and association testing with a significance threshold of P
