Simultaneous anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with valgus high tibial osteotomy improves mid- to long-term clinical outcomes without increasing the complication rates in young anterior cruciate ligament deficient patients with varus malalignment: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to systematically review and quantitatively analyze the mid- to long-term clinical outcomes of simultaneous anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) and valgus high tibial osteotomy (HTO) in the treatment of ACL injury with varus malalignment of the knee.

Methods

This study was performed in line with PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) and AMSTAR (Assessing the Methodological Quality of Systematic Reviews) Guidelines. PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases were searched to identify studies reporting clinical outcomes of simultaneous ACLR and valgus HTO surgery. Data on follow-up duration, patient-reported outcome measures, clinical stability assessment, radiological outcomes, return to
