OSTEOTOMY OF THE TIBIA - THE LONG-TERM RESULTS



Abstract

In the past many high tibial osteotomies were done to relieve symptoms of osteoarthritis. Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has largely taken the place of these osteotomies.

Aiming to evaluate the long-term results of these osteotomies and assess the complications involved on conversion to TKA, we followed up 207 patients over a 10-year period.

The abstracts were prepared by Professor M. B. E. Sweet. Correspondence should be addressed to him at The Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Medical School, University of Witwatersrand, 7 York Road, Parktown, Johannesburg, 2193 South Africa
