Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To review the research progress of surgical methods of osteotomy around the knee in the treatment of valgus knee osteoarthritis. METHODS: The relevant literature on the surgical treatment of valgus knee osteoarthritis at home and abroad in recent years was reviewed, and the advantages, disadvantages, and effectiveness of different surgical methods of osteotomy around the knee were summarized. RESULTS: For young and active patients with symptomatic valgus knee osteoarthritis, osteotomy around the knee is a safe and reliable treatment option. At present, the main surgical methods include medial closing wedge distal femoral osteotomy, lateral opening wedge distal femoral osteotomy, medial closing wedge high tibial osteotomy, and lateral opening wedge high tibial osteotomy. The indications, advantages, and disadvantages of different osteotomies are different, and the selection of appropriate surgical method is the key to achieve good effectiveness. CONCLUSION: There are many osteotomies in the treatment of valgus knee osteoarthritis. In order to achieve good results, improve survival rate, and reduce postoperative complications, the most reasonable surgical strategy needs to be developed according to different situations.
