Biplane opening wedge high tibial osteotomy with a distal tuberosity osteotomy, radiological and clinical analysis with minimum follow-up of 2 years

High tibial osteotomy is an established and helpful treatment for unicompatimental osteoarthritis associated with varus deformity. However, asupratubercle high tibial osteotomy leads to a decrease in patellar height making the technique not suitable in case of concomitant patella baja. Moreover, thi...

However, asupratubercle high tibial osteotomy leads to a decrease in patellar height making the technique not suitable in case of concomitant patella baja. Moreover, this kind of osteotomy can change in situ forces at patellofemoral joint and the lateral patellar tilt. With the aim to widen the indication of high tibial osteotomy was proposed a biplane opening wedge high tibial osteotomy with a distal tuberosity osteotomy (B-OWHTO). This technique provide that the tibial tuberosity remains joined to the tibial metaphysis so as not to theoretically alter the patellar height. However, some Authors claim that BOWHTO could lead to an increase in tibial slope. The purpose of the present study was to assess the tibial slope, patella-femoral changes and axial correction as well as functional outcomes following a B-OWHTO. Patients operated on with a B-OWHTO and a minimum 24 months of follow-up were included. The mechanical alignment of the lower limb, patellar height, lateral patellar tilt and posterior tibial slope were calculated preoperatively, immediately after surgery and at the 24-month follow-up. The clinical results were evaluated using the Lysholm, Kujala and Hospital for Special Surgery knee scores. The possible postoperative development of patellofemoral pain or radiologic patellofemoral alteration was also evaluated. Twenty-three patients were included with a mean follow-up of 33 months (range 27-41). The mechanical alignment of the lower limb shifted from a mean 9.3º ± 2.5 varus preoperatively to a mean 0.2º ± 2.2 valgus postoperatively. No changes in patellar height, lateral patellar tilt or in the posterior tibial slope were observed. The mean Lysholm and HSS scores improved from 68.3 ± 9.1 and 64.2 ± 5.2 preoperatively to 93.2 ± 2.1 and 94.1 ± 3.6 at final follow-up (p < 0.01). The mean Kujala score improved from 67.3 ± 9.8 to 86.4 ± 7.6 at final follow up (p < 0.01). No patients developed both radiological or clinical symptoms at patellofemoral joint. Open wedge high tibial osteotomy with a dihedral L-cut distal and posterior to the tibial tubercle accurately corrected axial malalignment without any change at patella-femoral joint or any modification to the posterior tibial slope while providing improved knee function at short-term follow-up. The radiographic as well as the clinical results support the use of this technique to treat medial compartment knee osteoarthritis and varus malalignment in young and middle-aged patients with a normal-to-low patellar height.
