Tibial condylar valgus osteotomy for the treatment of intra-articular varus deformity of the knee.

ABSTRACT: The increasing incidence and distribution of primary and post-traumatic knee osteoarthritis (OA) in the young, active population has renewed interest in joint-preserving procedures. High tibial osteotomy (HTO) represents the most common treatment for medial knee OA associated with varus tibial deformity. However, deformities may also be related to intra-articular defects that an extra-articular procedure could not correct. The tibial condylar valgus osteotomy (TCVO) represents an intra-articular surgical technique for treating advanced medial knee OA with lateral joint subluxation. Currently, only a few papers with small samples and limited follow-up report the use of TCVO for the treatment of intra-articular deformities. Indications and operative techniques are various and not standardize
