Abstract

Introduction

Osteotomy is a recognised surgical option for the management of unicompartmental knee osteoarthritis. The effectiveness of the surgery is correlated with the accuracy of correction obtained. Overcorrection can potentially lead to excess load through the healthy cartilage resulting in accelerated wear and early failure of surgery. Despite this past studies report this accuracy to be as low as 20% in achieving planned corrections.

Aim

Assess the effectiveness of adopting modern osteotomy techniques in improving surgical accuracy.
