Abstract
In the past, many high tibial osteotomies were done to relieve symptoms of osteoarthritis. These osteotomies have largely been replaced by total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
This paper presents the long-term results of 270 osteotomies followed up for 10 years and discusses the complications involved in subsequent conversion to TKA.
