“…In summary, these studies collectively enhance our understanding of PFO as a potential management option for knee OA in the Indian population. Overall, we included eight studies [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15], all prospective cohort studies and interventional studies carried out at different locations in India. In each of these studies, investigations evaluated the existing evidence concerning the management of knee OA through PFO in the Indian population.…”

“…In each of these studies, investigations evaluated the existing evidence concerning the management of knee OA through PFO in the Indian population. Across the included studies [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15], 289 participants were included and recruited patients with medial compartment OA of the knee. All the included studies [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] detailed the management of knee OA through PFO.…”

All the included studies [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] detailed the management of knee OA through PFO. Among the included studies, seven studies [8][9][10][11][12][13][14] assessed VAS score, three studies [8,9,12] assessed American Knee Society Score (AKSS), six studies assessed [8][9][10][11][12]14] FTA, one study [14] assessed KSS, and another one study [15] assessed Oxford Knee Scores (OKS).…”

“…The follow-up durations in these studies varied, ranging from a few months to several years. Notably, the findings consistently demonstrated sustained improvements in pain relief and functional outcomes over these extended follow-up periods, suggesting the potential for long-term benefits associated with PFO in managing knee OA [ 8 - 15 ]. However, to address the pertinent question of durability, it is imperative to delve deeper into the specific time frames and the maximum duration of follow-up reported in the individual studies.…”

This systematic review aims to assess the management of knee osteoarthritis through proximal fibular osteotomy (PFO) in the Indian population by synthesizing data from various prospective cohort and interventional studies. We seek to provide an overview of the effectiveness and safety of PFO as a treatment modality and offer insights into its potential implications for clinical practice in India. A systematic search strategy was employed, targeting multiple medical databases to identify relevant studies published from 2018 to 2023. Inclusion criteria encompassed studies involving Indian patients with medial compartment knee osteoarthritis and varus deformity who underwent PFO. Data were extracted and evaluated according to the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale for observational studies. Eight studies were included in this review, each displaying varying designs, patient populations, and follow-up duration. The findings consistently indicated that PFO improved pain, knee function, and radiological outcomes, such as knee joint space and tibio-femoral angles. These improvements were generally sustained over several months to a year. The available evidence underscores the potential of PFO as a promising intervention for managing knee osteoarthritis in the Indian population, particularly in patients with medial compartment involvement and varus deformity. While these results are promising, the limitations inherent in the current literature, including study design variations and small sample sizes, necessitate further research with more extensive and diverse patient populations. This systematic review provides valuable insights for healthcare professionals and researchers, highlighting the need for more rigorous investigations and supporting the consideration of PFO as a viable treatment option for knee osteoarthritis in India.
