Proximal tibial osteotomy for frontal plane deformities correction.

Abstract

Correction of frontal knee deformities by high tibial osteotomy (HTO) is a well-established surgical procedure used to correct specific lower limb deformities. This study aims to clarify, through six key questions, the indications, deformity analysis, surgical planning, technical execution, complication prevention, and postoperative management associated with HTO. HTO remains an effective treatment for frontal plane knee deformities, providing symptom relief and delaying osteoarthritis progression. Optimal outcomes depend on careful preoperative assessment, precise surgical execution, and vigilant postoperative follow-up.
