TLDR
It is pointed out that the closing wedge technique lends itself particularly well to accurate correction of the deformity.Abstract:
Forty-five high tibial osteotomies, with Gariepy's closing wedge technique, are reported. Of thirty-six knees followed for a year or more twenty-six had good results, five had fair results, and five had poor results.
The importance of accurate correction of the deformity is emphasized. It is pointed out that the closing wedge technique lends itself particularly well to accurate correction of the deformity.read more

TL;DR: Twenty-five carefully worded recommendations have been generated based on a critical appraisal of existing guidelines, a systematic review of research evidence and the consensus opinions of an international, multidisciplinary group of experts for the management of hip and knee osteoarthritis.

Proximal tibial osteotomy for osteoarthritis with varus deformity. A ten to thirteen-year follow-up study.
TL;DR: P proximal tibial osteotomy is a very suitable operation for patients who have gonarthrosis of the medial compartment, but a rigidly standardized and precise operative technique is required as well as accurate radiographic measurements of the mechanical axis of the limb, because exact postoperative alignment is the prerequisite for the longest possible period of relief of symptoms after osteotomy.

The effect of high tibial osteotomy on osteoarthritis of the knee. An arthroscopic study of 54 knee joints.
TL;DR: Arthroscopic findings in repair of articular surfaces and the operation's effect on healthy components made it clear that the ideal correction method is to align the mechanical axis to pass through a point 30 to 40 per cent lateral to the midpoint.

The Forty-Five-Degree Posteroanterior Flexion Weight-Bearing Radiograph of the Knee
TL;DR: Comparison of the intraoperatively observed degeneration with the narrowing that was seen on the radiographs revealed that the posteroanterior weight-bearing radiographs that were made with the knee in 45 degrees of flexion were more accurate, more specific, and more sensitive than the conventional extension weight- bearing anteroposterior radiographs.
Journal ArticleDOI
High tibial osteotomy with a calibrated osteotomy guide, rigid internal fixation, and early motion. Long-term follow-up.
TL;DR: In this series, in which an osteotomy was performed with a calibrated osteotomy cutting guide and rigid internal fixation and was followed by early motion, the rate of complications was low and approximately two-thirds of the knees had a good or excellent clinical result at an average of 8.5 years.

Osteotomy of the upper portion of the tibia for degenerative arthritis of the knee. a preliminary report.
TL;DR: An upper tibial wedge osteotomy was used in the general region of the closed epiphysis to correct the varus or valgus deformity resulting from degenerative changes.

TL;DR: The operation relieves pain in a large proportion of cases while retaining a useful range of knee flexion and can be treated safely and reliably by proximal tibial osteotomy.

HIGH TIBIAL OSTEOTOMY FOR ARTHRITIS OF THE KNEE: A Method Specially Suitable for the Elderly
TL;DR: High tibial osteotomy-above the tibia tubercle-gives good results in elderly patients disabled by arthritis of the knee, and knee movements and walking are encouraged within a few days of operation.
