Total Knee Arthroplasty After High Tibial Osteotomy

Abstract: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) after a previous high tibial osteotomy (HTO) is a technically demanding procedure. Previous approach, fixation devices, defect of tibial plateau, position of patella and anatomic position of proximal of tibia should be carefully evaluated before the operation. According to the literature the previous HTO has no adverse effect on the TKA outcome.
