Abstract
In the past many high tibial osteotomies were done to relieve symptoms of osteoarthritis. Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has largely taken the place of these osteotomies.
Aiming to evaluate the long-term results of these osteotomies and assess the complications involved on conversion to TKA, we followed up 207 patients over a 10-year period.
