Altered motor function during daily activities in patients eligible for high tibial osteotomy is primarily driven by knee varus deformity
Patients eligible for high tibial osteotomy move with altered motor function during daily activities, and the coexisting factors of OA grade, varus malalignment, and previous meniscectomy have different impacts, with varus deformity primarily affecting motor function. These findings help to detect the target that should be considered priority in the treatment of high tibial osteotomy, and highlight the importance of realigning the lower limb to possibly restore motor function.
