Osteoarthritis Of Knee

Background: Osteoarthritis of knee is one of the common conditions seen in older individuals and known to affect quality of life considerably. It makes it difficult for individuals with knee osteoarthritis to climb stairs, walk long distances, and stand for long time and squatting. In intractable cases not responding to conservative management surgical management such as proximal fibular Osteotomy (PFO) or high tibial Osteotomy (HTO) is routinely done. We conducted this comparative study to analyse the functional outcome of patients who had undergone HTO and PFO for medial compartment osteoarthritis of knee joint. Aims and Objectives: 1) To analyse the functional outcome of patients who had undergone HTO and PFO for medial compartment osteoarthritis of knee joint. 2) To compare complication rates in both the groups. Materials and Methods: A total of 60 patients with medial compartment knee osteoarthritis were included in this study on the basis of a predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients were randomized to 2 groups. Thirty patients undergoing proximal fibular osteotomy (Group A) and 30 patients undergoing high tibial osteotomy (Group B). The patients were followed up for improvements in functional outcome for 12 months. The statistical analysis was done using SSPS 21.0 software and p value less than 0.05 were taken as statistically significant. Results: Mean time for surgery was less for PFO surgery as compared to HTO and the difference was statistically significant. Moreover mean bleeding amount, drainage volume and time required for full weight bearing was low in PFO group as compared to HTO group and the difference was found to be statistically significant (P<0.05). The mean VAS score at the time of presentation in PFO and HTO groups was found to be 4.9 +/- 1.12 and 4.7 +/- 1.02 respectively. A statistically significant reduction in pain was documented at the time of follow up of 4 weeks in both the groups. The functional outcome and complication rates were comparable in both the groups. Conclusion: Proximal fibular osteotomy is a better option as compared to high tibial osteotomy in terms of mean surgery time, mean bleeding amount, drainage volume and time required for full weight bearing. Functional outcome and improvement in VAS were comparable in both the groups.

Structured abstract:Medial compartment osteoarthritis of knee in young adults has a variety of management options. Realignment surgeries by high tibial osteotomy unload the medial joint and are gaining popularity with increasing focus on knee preservation surgeries. Medial opening wedge osteotomy is one such time tested technique with the fixation being done using internal or external fixators. Here we present the early outcomes of infra-tubercle medial opening wedge osteotomy using a dynamic axial external fixator. Methodology: A single group cohort study was conducted to assess the functional outcomes of high tibial osteotomy with a uni-axial dynamic external fixator for medial compartmental osteoarthritis in younger patient. Results:Function was assessed using knee scores at 6 months and 12 months follow-up which was 85.5 and 83.1 respectively. On bivariate analysis of pre and post-operative Knee-scores, significant improvement was noted with average being 44.2 ± 4.01 which was statistically significant p value-<0.00001. Excellent results were obtained in 15 cases (75%) and good results in 5 cases (25%). Three patients developed pin track infections and were treated with antibiotics and pin tract care. Conclusion: High tibial osteotomy using dynamic external fixator is a simple and effective option for management of medial compartment osteoarthritis in young patients with good short-term functional outcomes and low risk of infection.

Abstract Background Several surgical procedures have been mentioned to treat medial compartment osteoarthritis (OA), as total knee arthroplasty (TKA), unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) and high tibial osteotomy (HTO). Objectives The aim of the study is a systematic review & meta analysis conducted to compare the outcomes between UKA & HTO in different types of patients diagnosed as an isolated medial compartment OA who treated with UKA or HTO and statistically compare between their results of pain, range of motion, complications, and i ncidence of revision to TKA using studies published between 2009 to 2019 from any country. Patients and Methods The review will be restricted to Randomized controlled trials (RCTs), clinical trials, and comparative studies, either prospective or retrospective, which studied the outcome of HTO versus UKA of isolated medial compartment osteoarthritis patients, articles published in English &published during 2009 to 2019. Results About 150 articles were found using search keywords. By filtration and screening of the title and exclusion of unrelated articles, about 60 articles were found. By applications of all inclusion and exclusion criteria, only 12 articles were fit to undergo this meta-analysis. Conclusion In conclusion, there were no significant differences in the pain score, knee score, complication rate and revision rate to TKA between HTO and UKA, while the HTO group manifested superior ROM compared to the UKA group. So, HTO may be convenient for patients with high activity requirements. Over time, both groups exhibited increased revision rates with the deteriorated clinical outcomes. Therefore when deciding on a therapeutic plan, the ability to revise these failed choices of treatment to a total knee arthroplasty should be a major consideration. This may assist surgeons in their choice. Based on the findings of current meta-analysis, it appears that the two groups have the same efficiency and safety in the treatment of medial knee OA.

The Mean

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.
