We have analysed retrospectively the relationship between the axial parameters of alignment of the lower limb and the recurrence of varus deformity after high
Aims. The aim of this prospective randomised study was to compare the
time course of clinical improvement during the first two years following
a closing or opening wedge high
Aims. We aimed to investigate factors related to the technique of medial
opening wedge high

1. The results are presented of upper
The objective of this study was to validate the
efficacy of Takeuchi classification for lateral hinge fractures
(LHFs) in open wedge high
Aims. Little is known about the relative outcomes of revision of unicompartmental
knee arthroplasty (UKA) and high
Our aim was to compare the degree of patellar descent and alteration in angle of the inclination of the tibial plateau in lateral closing-wedge and medial opening-wedge high
Weakness of dorsiflexion of the foot is a common complication of proximal
We assessed the reliability, accuracy and variability of closed-wedge high
1. If osteoarthritis of the knee is confined mainly to one tibio-femoral compartment and the range of flexion is 90 degrees or more it can be treated safely and reliably by proximal

Primary osteoarthritis of the ankle with no history of trauma is rare. We report the use of a low
To assess migration of the tibial component we used roentgen stereophotogrammetric analysis in 40 patients who had had a total knee arthroplasty after failure of a closing wedge osteotomy and compared them with 40 matched patients after primary total knee arthroplasty. We found no difference in migration over time or in the tendency for continuous migration between the two groups. There were no differences in alignment or position of the knee prosthesis or in the clinical outcome. Our findings show that revision of a failed high
The use of standing radiographs to determine correction angles for high
We assessed 16 patients before and after high
Between 2003 and 2007, 99 knees in 77 patients
underwent opening wedge high
We performed postoperative venography on 84 consecutive patients who had undergone upper
On three occasions we have reviewed a series of knees after high
The management of osteoarthritis of the knee associated with patellar instability secondary to external tibial torsion >
45° is challenging. Patellofemoral biomechanics in these patients cannot be achieved by intra-articular correction using standard techniques of total knee replacement. We reviewed seven patients (eight knees) with recurrent patellar dislocation and one with bilateral irreducible lateral dislocation who had undergone simultaneous total knee replacement and internal
