Clinical and Radiological Results of Long Term Tibial and Femoral Osteotomy in Knee Ostheoarthritis With Concomitant Lower Limb Malalignement

Sponsor: Istituto Ortopedico Rizzoli

Summary

The present study aims to evaluate the long-term and medium-term outcomes of different knee osteotomy techniques in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis in patients with lower limb malalignment. This evaluation is necessary in the current context of research on the treatment and prevention of knee osteoarthritis through treatments that do not involve or allow for the postponement of prosthetic replacement. Among the biological treatments performed in orthopedic clinical practice, osteotomy is one of the most promising. However, further long-term evaluations are needed to more clearly determine the indications and potential of this type of intervention, considering the various surgical procedures described for performing it.
