Lateral closing wedge high-tibial osteotomy is a long-lasting option for patients under the age of 55 with medial compartment osteoarthritis.

Purpose: Assess the survival of the closing wedge high tibial osteotomy (CWHTO) with failure defined as progression to total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and perioperative complications.

Methods: Patients undergoing CWHTO in a single centre were included in this study. The patient's demographics, operative data and patient-reported outcome measures were collected from the medical records.

Long-term results of per-operative knee arthroscopy in confirming suitability for unicompartmental arthroplasty.

Background: Patient selection is key to the success of medial unicondylar knee arthroplasty (UKA). Progression of arthritis is the most common indication for revision surgery. Per-operative arthroscopy is a means of directly assessing the integrity of the lateral compartment.

Femoral nerve block vs fascia iliaca block for total knee arthroplasty postoperative pain control: a prospective, randomized controlled trial.

Femoral nerve block (FNB) is an accepted mode of analgesia for lower limb procedures but has a documented complication rate. This study compared femoral nerve and fascia iliaca regional anesthesia for total knee arthroplasty (TKA), using fentanyl consumption as the primary outcome measure. Ninety-eight primary unilateral TKA patients were blinded and randomized into fascia iliaca block (FIB) (n = 51) or FNB (n = 47) groups.
