Abstract
- To determine if patients with preoperative symptom durations greater than two-years' experience inferior patient-reported and clinical outcomes at a minimum of two years after high tibial osteotomy.An institutional registry was retrospectively queried for patients treated with high tibial osteotomy for symptomatic medial knee overload/arthritis and varus malalignment between February 2006 and March 2018. Demographic characteristics, clinical outcomes, patient-reported outcomes (PROs), including the International Knee Documentation Committee score, Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for Joint Replacement and Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System Pain Interference and Physical Function scores, were assessed at a minimum of two-years postoperatively. Patients were compared based on preoperative symptom duration greater than or less than two years. Correlation coefficients were used to analyse the association between patient demographics and postoperative outcomes for the overall patient sample.A total of 41 patients were included in the analysis with a mean age (± standard deviation) of 37.0 ± 8.2 years and body mass index of 27.6 ± 4.2 kg/mPatients with a preoperative duration of symptomatic medial knee overload/arthritis of two years or greater do not experience inferior PRO or clinical outcomes than patients with a symptom duration of less than 2 years at mid-term follow-up. Greater age and BMI were weakly correlated with conversion to TKA. Greater age was negatively correlated with undergoing at least one reoperation.IV; Retrospective case series.
