Survival of closing-wedge high tibial osteotomy: Good outcome in men with low-grade osteoarthritis after 10–16 years

Abstract

Our findings suggest that ideal candidates for corrective osteotomy are men with symptomatic medial compartmental osteoarthritis of Ahlback grade 1, who, 10 years after surgery, have an almost tenfold lower probability of failure of HTO than women with more advanced osteoarthritis.
