high tibial osteotomy
High tibial osteotomy (HTO) is a well-established joint-preserving procedure for younger and active patients with medial compartment osteoarthritis associated with varus malalignment. By laterally shifting the mechanical axis of the lower limb, HTO unloads the diseased medial compartment, alleviates pain, and delays the need for knee arthroplasty
