Medial unicompartmental knee osteoarthritis is a common condition that is frequently associated with signicant pain and dysfunction. Medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO) offers a unique opportunity to preserve the knee joint and potentially alter the course of the degenerative process. Recent advances in this eld of surgery have enabled surgeons to perform a MOWHTO in a safe, reliable and reproducible manner. Proximal/high tibial osteotomy (HTO) is a preferred strategy for clinically symptomatic osteoarthritis (OA) with genu varum due to painful medial compartment OA which is not amenable to conservative measures. To evaluate the outcomes of medial open-wedge HTO along with autologous bone grafting and buttress plate for the treatment of genu varum due to OA of the knee.
