Closed wedge high tibial osteotomy can reduce medial meniscus extrusion in comparison with open wedge high tibial osteotomy

Key Points

• Medial meniscus extrusion significantly decreases following closed wedge high tibial osteotomy.
• Patients undergoing closed wedge procedures exhibited better outcomes than those with open wedge methods.
• The analysis compared two surgical approaches on knee joint stability and meniscus position.
• Results demonstrate advantages of closed wedge techniques, highlighting a need for further comparative work.
