Article Synopsis
- Knee osteoarthritis poses significant challenges in modern healthcare, with ongoing debates about the optimal timing and types of surgical treatments.
- A study examining high tibial osteotomy (HTO) trends in Italy from 2001 to 2016 found 34,402 procedures, mainly in men aged 50-59, indicating a cumulative incidence of 3.6 cases per 100,000 residents.
- The analysis revealed a decline in hospitalization length over time and a decrease in the number of HTOs performed, suggesting a shift towards less reliance on this surgery for managing knee osteoarthritis, especially in older populations.
