Sporting Activity after High Tibial Osteotomy for the Treatment of Medial Compartment Knee Osteoarthritis

Abstract

High tibial osteotomy for the treatment of medial compartment knee osteoarthritis in the active patient demonstrated favorable clinical results and allowed patients to return to sports and recreational activities similar to the preoperative level.

Total ankle arthroplasty versus ankle arthrodesis. Comparison of sports, recreational activities and functional outcome

“…Many researchers have investigated the return to sports and the level of sports activity after total joint replacement and joint preserving surgery for the treatment of osteoarthritis [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25].…”

Preoperative Strength Training for Patients Undergoing High Tibial Osteotomy: A Prospective Cohort Study With Historical Controls

“…While these gait speeds appear to be quite slow, they are typical for this patient population when examined using similar methods to those of the present study. 8,28,34,43 Of note, Salzmann et al 42 have reported that patients scheduled for HTO often maintain an active lifestyle prior to surgery and are able to return to their previous activity levels following surgery. We must also acknowledge that examining changes in muscular function and knee joint loading during more physically demanding activities than gait might have elicited differences between groups.…”

Sports and Physical Activities of Elderly Patients with Medial Compartment Knee Osteoarthritis after High Tibial Osteotomy

“…The sports and physical activities (SPA) performed by patients with knee OA before and after valgus knee osteotomy have been investigated and several reports have been published. [6][7][8] These studies involved patients with a wide range of ages and included younger patients who resumed high-impact sports such as tennis and rugby postoperatively.…”
