Background: It is known that open wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) may lead to progression of patellofemoral degeneration due to descent of the patellar height. However, the difference in patellofemoral joint (PFJ) loads with normal daily activity between uniplane and biplane osteotomies is unclear. The purpose of this study was to reveal the differences in PFJ biomechanics between uniplane and biplane OWHTO using finite element analysis (FEA).

Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing either GAO or PSO procedure in the OWHTO to treat varus knee osteoarthritis, who had a minimum of 2 years of follow-up. Patients were propensity score matched (PSM) in a 1:1 ratio based on demographic and clinical data with a caliper width of 0.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and lymphocyte counts, specifically looking at their ratio (LLR) as a predictor for developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT) after open wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO).
- Researchers analyzed clinical data from 1,293 patients over a five-year period, finding a significant positive correlation between higher LLR and increased risk of DVT, with an identified threshold of LLR > 1.75.
- The findings suggest that LLR could be an effective biomarker for identifying patients at risk for DVT post-surgery, advocating for routine screening to improve patient outcomes.
Background: As the worldwide population ages, the population receiving open wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) is growing, and surgical site infection (SSI) is a rare but fatal surgical complication. This study aimed to identify risk factors independently associated with SSI following OWHTO and develop a predictive nomogram.
Methods: Clinical data of patients who received OWHTO and followed up for more than 12 months in our hospital were retrospectively reviewed.
