This research reviewed the techniques of high tibial osteotomy namely high tibial osteotomy, open wedge high tibial osteotomy, closedhigh tibial osteotomy. Patients who are suffering from knee arthritis, high tibial osteotomy assists to prevent or delay the requirement for total or partial replacement of knee to preserve damaged tissue of joint. High tibial osteotomy technique is mainly suitable for active and young patients with knee osteoarthritis. Age plays a main factor in success rate of high tibial osteotomy technique. It could be done in open wedge or closed wedge high tibial osteotomy. For some cases, surgery could be done in combined method (open wedge and closed wedge high tibial osteotomy). When compared with clinical outcomes of closed wedge high tibial osteotomy and open wedge high tibial osteotomy, open wedge high tibial osteotomy performs well in reducing the pain, duration of weight-bearing and return to normal life as soon as possible.展开更多
