Knee Joint01:23

Knee Joint

The knee joint is the most complicated joint in the body. It consists of three articulations– two tibiofemoral and one patellofemoral. As is characteristic of synovial joints, the knee joint has a thin articular capsule that partially surrounds this joint cavity. Additionally, several ligaments, muscles, and cartilaginous structures support the movement of the knee.
A total of seven ligaments support the knee joint. The patellar ligament, which is also attached to the quadriceps femoris group...
Ankle Joint01:10

Ankle Joint

The ankle is formed by the talocrural joint (crural = leg). It consists of the articulations between the talus bone of the foot and the distal ends of the tibia and fibula of the leg. The superior aspect of the talus bone is square-shaped and has three areas of articulation. The top of the talus articulates with the inferior tibia. This is the portion of the ankle joint that carries the body weight between the leg and foot. The sides of the talus are firmly held in position by the articulations...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Biomechanical Engineering
  • Sports Medicine

Background:

  • Medial compartment arthritis is a common condition requiring effective management.
  • High tibial osteotomy (HTO) is a well-established surgical procedure for treating this condition.
  • HTO is regaining popularity due to its potential for long-term pain relief and functional improvement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current techniques for high tibial osteotomy (HTO).
  • To compare the results and advantages of different HTO methods.
  • To outline optimal surgical techniques for HTO to maximize outcomes and minimize complications.

Main Methods:

  • Discussion of various high tibial osteotomy (HTO) techniques.
  • Analysis of reported outcomes and comparative advantages of each technique.
  • Emphasis on patient selection and surgical precision.

Main Results:

  • Appropriate alignment is crucial for successful HTO outcomes.
  • Computer navigation may enhance procedural accuracy.
  • Indications for HTO may expand with combined procedures like ligament reconstruction and chondral resurfacing.

Conclusions:

  • High tibial osteotomy (HTO) offers a viable solution for medial compartment arthritis.
  • Meticulous surgical technique and patient selection are paramount for optimal results.
  • Advancements in technology and surgical combinations are expanding the role of HTO.
