Abstract:
High tibial osteotomy (HTO) is commonly used to correct excessive varus knee malalignment. Varus alignment places increased loads on the medial tibiofemoral joint, accelerating medical compartment degeneration. This article explores the benefits of HTO in correcting varus deformities and addresses concomitant procedures for managing medial compartment pathology, offering practical guidance for surgeons to optimize outcomes and restore knee function.
