“…Surin et al (1975) noticed a clear correlation between the patients' symptoms and the degree of correction ofvarus or valgus deformities. However, good results have been presented independently of the correction of position achieved by osteotomy (Appel and Friberg 1972). The relief of pain has in these cases been attributed to the release of internal venous congestion resulting from the osteotomy (Helal 1965).…”

“…It has been suggested that preoperative instability of the knee may be a contra-indication to proximal osteotomy of the tibia (Appel and Friberg 1972). However, other views have also been put forward (Myrnerts 1980b).…”

A total of 50 patients with osteoarthritis of the knee joint treated by proximal osteotomy of the tibia were followed up 1-5 years after operation. Fusion occurred within an average of 24 weeks. The subjective result of the treatment was good or fair in 44/50 patients. The results were the same 1-2 years and 4-5 years postoperatively. Half the patients showed some significant general disease, most usually hypertension or cardiac disease. Although the patients' subjective condition was significantly better after than before operation, the treatment did not improve or maintain their working capacity. Preoperatively 29 patients worked, while this number was reduced to 12 at the time of follow-up, and two of the latter patients had been trained for new occupation.

“…The difference in effect on pain at rest and on pain on movement also stresses the importance of the fact that pain at rest should be the main indication for osteotomy. Furthermore, these two qualities of pain must properly be taken into account when assessing the results after treatment of osteoarthritis (Appel & Friberg 1972).…”
