Background: Osteoarthritis is often found in weight-bearing joints, the knee being the most common site. Most patients of symptomatic osteoarthritis of knee are associated with varus malalignment that is causative or contributory to painful arthritis. Correcting the malalignment of the knee relieves symptoms by transferring the functional load to the unaffected compartment. The goal of the treatment is to relieve medial compartment knee pain and slow down the arthritic progression. We report the outcome of a simple technique of medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy in treating the medial compartment osteoarthritis of the knee. Materials and method: A prospective interventional study was carried out over a period of 2 years from November 2017 to October 2019 in a sample size of randomly selected 41 patients having unilateral knee osteoarthritis. All patients after a proper preoperative assessment underwent high tibial osteotomy and the outcome was evaluated using knee society scoring system. Results: The age of the patients ranged from 40 – 65 years with a mean age of 51 years, 13 were males and 28 were females showing female predominance (68.2%). The mean knee score and the mean functional score of the patients before surgery were 60 and 61.95 respectively and post operatively at the end of 6 months the knee score and functional score was 77 and 80.53 respectively. By the end of 6 months out of 41 patients, 12 patients (29.2%) had excellent functional outcome, 18 patients (43.90%) had good functional outcome, 09 patients (21.95%) had fair functional outcome while only 02 patients (04.87%) had poor functional outcome. Conclusions: The present study shows that HTO is a good option in isolated medial compartment OA of knee. Significant increase in the knee score and functional score was found after high tibial osteotomy for the patients of osteoarthritis with varus deformity. Success of high tibial osteotomy relies on appropriate patient selection, proper osteotomy type and precise surgical technique.

Unicompartmental Knee

IntroductionUnicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is one of the most effective surgical procedures for treating isolated medial compartment knee osteoarthritis. However, previous studies have regarded patellofemoral osteoarthritis as a contraindication for UKA. In contrast, most current research shows that damage to the articular cartilage of the patellofemoral joint, even to the extent of full-thickness cartilage loss, has no influence on the outcome of UKA.Methods and analysisStudy settings: This study is a prospective cohort study that will compare the Forgotten Joint Score and Lonner patellofemoral joint score of patients who have undergone UKA; the patients will be divided into two groups (with and without patellofemoral joint osteoarthritis (PFJOA)). Primary objective: Long-term follow-up will be used to evaluate the effect of the operation on the above-mentioned scores in both the groups. Secondary objective: We will divide the patients from the with PFJOA group into three subgroups according to the localisation of patellofemoral cartilage lesions (medial zone, lateral zone and central zone). We aim to compare knee joint scores among these groups and clarify the impact of different wear sites on clinical efficacy. We will use CT to explore the potential mechanism through which UKA affects patellofemoral joint-related parameters (lateral patellar tilt, lateral patellar shift and tibia tuberosity-trochlear groove distance). We will also record mid-term/long-term post-surgery complications.Ethics and disseminationThis study’s protocol is in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Xuanwu Hospital. The results of this study will be disseminated in international peer-reviewed journals.Trial registration numberChiCTR2000030310.

Foot Posture

Objectives : To compare foot posture in people with and without medial compartment knee osteoarthritis (OA), and to assess association between its abnormalities and medial compartment knee OA. Methods : We compared the foot posture of patients with clinically and radiographically-confirmed medial compartment knee OA and asymptomatic healthy controls using the foot posture index (FPI), navicular height, and the medial arch. Results : We included 100 patients and 80 asymptomatic controls. The mean age of patients was 59 ± 7 (44-76) years and 48 ± 9 (28-60) years in the control (p=0.06). Patients group have more pronated foot for FPI (1.50 ± 2.68 vs 0.72 ± 2.63; p=0.05), more flat foot (42% vs 22%; p=0.03), and less pes cavus than the control group (58% vs 77%; p=0.004). However, there was no significant difference between the groups in the navicular height (3.90 ± 0.85 cm vs 4.00 ± 0.76 cm; p=0.41). In multivariate statistical analysis, after adjusting for age and body mass index, pronated foot in FPI (OR=1.22, 95%IC= [1.06-1.40], p=0.005), and pes cavus (OR=0.32, 95%IC= [0.11-0.93], p=0.03) had a significant correlation with the knee osteoarthritis. Conclusion : Pronated foot posture and flat foot are significantly associated with medial compartment knee osteoarthritis.
