Changes in patellar height and tibia inclination angle following open-wedge high tibial osteotomy
Abstract
Objectives: We investigated changes in patellar height and tibial inclination angle after open-wedge high tibial osteotomy and the effect of these changes on patient satisfaction.
Methods: The study included 18 knees of 16 patients (4 males, 12 females; mean age 55 years; range 44 to 66 years) who underwent open-wedge proximal tibial osteotomy with autogenous bone graft and medial plate for medial compartment gonarthrosis. Nine knees (50%) had Ahlbäck grade I, eight knees (44.4%) had grade II, and one knee (5.6%) had grade III osteoarthritis. Pre- and postoperatively, femorotibial angle, tibial inclination angle, and patellar height were measured according to the Bauer, Harvey-Moore, and Blackburne-Peel methods, respectively. Clinical evaluations were made using the Lysholm-Gillquist score. Patient satisfaction was questioned with a 10-point scale. The mean follow-up was 54.2 months (range 25 to 96 months).
Results: Postoperatively, the mean correction of the femorotibial angle was 13.6° (p
