Clinical Outcomes and Complications During and After Medial Open-Wedge High Tibial Osteotomy Using a Locking Plate: A 3- to 7-Year Follow-up Study

Abstract

Postoperative outcome scores indicated significant improvement after MOWHTO, although the cumulative rate of all complications was 41.2% and the rate of major complications was 24.7%. These results indicate that MOWHTO with the TomoFix is a technically demanding procedure. Careful preoperative planning and meticulous surgical technique are needed to decrease the incidence of complications associated with MOWHTO.
