A 2021 consensus statement on osteotomies around the knee by the UK Knee Osteotomy consensus Group (KOG)

Osteotomy around the painful degenerative varus knee: a 2022 ESSKA formal consensus

“…The greater part of its substance can be applied to worldwide osteotomy practice where the indications and the resource exist. It difers somewhat from a recently published UK consensus [17] in which an alternative methodology has been used. The UK consensus covers a wider range of indications for osteotomy and includes more complex and challenging situations, whereas the ESSKA consensus focusses speciically upon varus medial osteoarthritis in a detailed analysis.…”

A systematic review of outcomes of high tibial osteotomy for the valgus knee

“…suggests not only that this procedure is actively being used in clinical practice, but that the continued use of this procedure is based on limited current research. The belief that further research is needed to improve current practice with regards to osteotomies of the knee is supported by the UK Knee Osteotomy Group's recent consensus statement [28].…”

Optimizing indications and technique in osteotomies around the knee

“…Nowadays, PTO might be performed, if degenerative changes occur, in patients with varus knee plus ACL rupture in the absence of dynamic instability on weight-bearing lateral radiographs. ACL reconstruction may be combined with PTO or performed as a second surgical stage, usually in patients with painful instability combined with medial degenerative changes in a varus knee ( 3 ).…”
