A Retrospective Study of Predictive Factors and Functional Outcomes of Medial Opening Wedge High Tibial Osteotomy for Varus Medial Compartment Knee Osteoarthritis: Insights From a Resource-Limited Setting

This study confirms that MOWHTO improves clinical outcomes for varus medial compartment KOA, especially in younger patients with a normal BMI, demonstrating its potential in resource-limited settings. These findings highlight the importance of considering age and BMI in treatment decisions; future prospective research is warranted to refine patient selection criteria and expand the applicability of MOWHTO.

Abstract

This study confirms that MOWHTO improves clinical outcomes for varus medial compartment KOA, especially in younger patients with a normal BMI, demonstrating its potential in resource-limited settings. These findings highlight the importance of considering age and BMI in treatment decisions; future prospective research is warranted to refine patient selection criteria and expand the applicability of MOWHTO.
