Clinical efficacy and feasibility of laser correction technology with an ordinary laser pen and surgical instrument box in open-wedge high tibial osteotomy
Abstract:Background
The clinical outcomes of open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) for medial knee osteoarthritis primarily depend on the corrective precision. The present study aimed to determine the efficacy and feasibility of laser correction technology with an ordinary laser pen and surgical instrument box.
Methods
This prospective and randomized trial included 71 patients randomly divided into laser (n = 36) and traditional groups (n = 35). In the l… Show more
