Same-stage total knee arthroplasty and osteotomy for osteoarthritis with extra-articular deformity. Part I: Tibial osteotomy, prospective study of 26 cases.
In patients with advanced knee osteoarthritis and extra-articular knee deformity (EKD), ligament balance may be difficult to achieve during total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Treatment options include two-stage surgery with the first stage involving correction of the EKD and same-stage TKA and tibial osteotomy (1S-TKA-TO). The objective of this study was to assess outcomes in 26 patients managed with 1S-TKA-TO.
