Conversion to Total Knee Arthroplasty After High Tibial Osteotomy: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

High tibial osteotomy (HTO) is a treatment option for younger, active patients with medial compartment knee osteoarthritis. Clinical results of HTO have been shown to deteriorate over time despite initial satisfactory results, requiring patients to eventually undergo conversion to total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Evidence monitoring survivorship of HTO remains scarce and potentially outdated.

Purpose

To investigate the impact of concomitant cartilage repair procedures, conversion to TKA, and associated complications for HTO.

Study design

Systematic review; Level of evidence, 4.

Methods

We searched MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library, and SCOPUS from inception to July 18, 2023, for studies reporting on survivorship and associated complications after media
