Abstract
High tibial osteotomy openations were performed for 14 cases with varus or valgus deformities due to osteoarthritis of the knee joints. From the above experiens, we think that satisfactory postoperative results, including relieves of pain and functional improvements, are well expected, when the patients are selected for operative indications. According to the results of follow up of the above patients, the following points were discussed.
(1) On the indication of the high tibial orteotomy for osteoarthritis of the knee.
(2) On the postoperative joint movements.
(3) On the problems in conventional operative methods and our new operative methods.
