Knee osteotomy, both high tibial and distal femoral osteotomy, is a well-recognised treatment for young, active patients with unicompartmental knee osteoarthritis. Osteotomy around the knee is usually performed as an inpatient procedure. The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness and patient satisfaction of our day-case protocol for knee osteotomy. All patients who underwent day-case knee osteotomy at the study unit, over a three-year period, were reviewed to assess the success of ambulatory care for knee osteotomy. Patients were sent questionnaires to assess functional outcome and patient satisfaction with our day-case process.Abstract
