Complications after knee derotational osteotomies in patients with anterior knee pain and/or patellofemoral instability: a systematic review with meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Investigate intra- and post-operative complications and revisions following distal femoral and/or high tibial derotational osteotomies to correct rotational malalignments of the lower limb in patients with anterior knee pain (AKP) and/or patellofemoral instability (PFI).

Methods

A literature search was conducted on PubMed, EMBASE and Web of Science (until 30 September 2023), including studies reporting complications, reinterventions and revisions following knee derotational osteotomies. Incidence rates were collected for each level of derotational osteotomy (distal femur, high tibia or double-level). A meta-analysis using the Freeman-Tukey double arcsine transformation was conducted to estimate the pooled proportions with their 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
