The aim of this study was to examine the functional
outcome at ten years following lateral closing wedge high tibial osteotomy
for medial compartment osteoarthritis of the knee and to define
pre-operative predictors of survival and determinants of functional
outcome. . 164 consecutive patients underwent
Aims. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether achieving medial joint opening, as measured by the change in the joint line convergence angle (∆JLCA), is a better predictor of clinical outcomes after

Aims. Little is known about the relative outcomes of revision of unicompartmental
knee arthroplasty (UKA) and
Between 2003 and 2007, 99 knees in 77 patients
underwent opening wedge
We compared the results ten years after an inverted V-shaped
We compared the incidence and severity of complications during and after closing- and opening-wedge

We carried out a prospective study of 132 patients (159 knees) who underwent closed-wedge
Aims. To evaluate whether low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) accelerates bone healing at osteotomy sites and promotes functional recovery after open-wedge
Aims. To determine the relationship between articular cartilage status and clinical outcomes after medial opening-wedge

time course of clinical improvement during the first two years following
a closing or opening wedge
Aims. We aimed to investigate factors related to the technique of medial
opening wedge
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
