Advances in modern osteotomies around the knee

Abstract: Corrective lower limb osteotomies are innovative and efficient therapeutic procedures for restoring axial alignment and managing unicompartmental knee osteoarthritis. This review presents critical insights into the up-dated clinical knowledge on osteotomies for complex posttraumatic or congenital lower limb deformities with a focus on high tibial osteotomies, including a comprehensive overview of basic principles of osteotomy planning, biomechanical considerations of different implants for osteotomies and insi… Show more

“…As such, great consensus exists between orthopaedic surgeons to aim for a slightly postoperative valgus alignment of the knee. Many authors suggest a postoperative femorotibial valgus angle of 5-10° which equates the intersection of the weightbearing line at 62-66% of the tibial width [21][22][23][24][25]. The ideal correction angle is believed to allow for a su cient unloading and regeneration of the medial compartment while at the same time avoiding an overloading and degeneration of the lateral compartment [26][27][28].…”

“…The CAOS systems also have an ambition to be used as a system with a minimal invasiveness in the tissue engineering on the artificial cartilage replacement. In this operation, the CAOS systems can control the tissue shape [263,264,265,266,267,268].…”

“…Such assessment tools can be especially useful in younger patient populations undergoing lower limb surgery where functional recovery is of much importance. There is a growing demand of corrective lower limb surgical procedures in patients that are young and physically active due to various reasons including early stage osteoarthritis causing mild deformities and pain, and limb lengthening for leg length discrepancy or idiopathic short stature [ 14 , 15 ]. These patients have a wide range of expectations encompassing pain relief, physical ability, and psychological well-being [ 16 ].…”
