    Infra-condylar tibia osteotomy can help avoid knee arthroplasty for painful gonarthrosis. This procedure improves gait, reduces pain, and may prevent arthrosis progression.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Biomechanics

    Background:

    • Painful gonarthrosis often involves a joint compartment and axis shift.
    • Knee arthroplasty is a common treatment, but alternatives are sought.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the subjective and objective outcomes of infra-condylar tibia osteotomy.
    • To determine if this procedure can prevent knee arthroplasty in select gonarthrosis cases.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective study of 71 patients undergoing infra-condylar tibia osteotomy.
    • Analysis of subjective pain, objective gait capacity, and radiographic alignment.

    Main Results:

    • The procedure demonstrated positive subjective and objective results in the studied cases.
    • Optimal correction of the tibial axis was crucial for successful outcomes.

  • Improved gait capacity and diminished pain were commonly reported.

    • Conclusions:

    • Infra-condylar tibia osteotomy is a viable alternative to knee arthroplasty for specific gonarthrosis presentations.
    • Careful patient selection and precise surgical correction are key to favorable results.
    • The surgery can potentially halt or slow the progression of knee osteoarthritis.
