Abstract
1. High tibial osteotomy-above the tibial tubercle-gives good results in elderly patients disabled by arthritis of the knee.
2. A technique of operation is described in which fixation is secured by four pins gripped in compression clamps.
3. No other fixation is needed, and knee movements and walking are encouraged within a few days of operation.
4. The early results warrant further trial of the method.
