Abstract

Introduction

Osteotomy is recognised treatment for osteoarthritis of the knee. Evidence suggests favourable outcomes when compared to arthroplasty, for younger and more active individuals[1]. Double level osteotomy (DLO) is considered when a single level is insufficient to restore both joint line obliquity and adequate realignment[2]. This paper aims to establish the functional outcomes up to two years post operatively for patients undergoing DLO, using patient reported outcome measures (PROMs).

Methodology

All patients who underwent a DLO at either Lister Hospital, Stevenage, or One Hatfield Hospital, Hertfordshire, between 1st January 2018 and 1st October 2020 were identified. DLO were performed by two specialist consultants, independently or in combination. PROMs including pain scores, health score, Oxford knee score (OKS) and knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score (KOOS) were recorded pre-operatively and at six month, one and two year post operative intervals.

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.
