Clinical Trial: Hybrid Closed Wedge High Tibial Osteotomy

U.S., Oct. 31 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07907159) titled 'Hybrid Closed Wedge High Tibial Osteotomy' on Oct. 22.

Brief Summary: Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent condition of the knee joint. High tibial osteotomy (HTO) is an effective treatment for medial compartmental osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee with good clinical outcomes. In particular, the two most commonly used surgical techniques of HTO are medial open wedge HTO (OWHTO) and lateral closed wedge HTO (CWHTO). However, OWHTO has been reported to have a negative effect on the patellofemoral (PF) joint postoperatively due to a decrease in patellar height and an increase in PF contact pressure, in contrast to CWHTO.
