Background: The literature provides limited evidence regarding postoperative outcomes and complications following simultaneous bilateral medial opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO). This study aimed to investigate the clinical outcomes and complications associated with simultaneous bilateral MOWHTO.
Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 72 knees from 36 patients (mean age, 58.

The PVA-g-GMA/SF-g-GMA hydrogel was fabricated using different ratios of PVA-g-GMA to SF-g-GMA: 100/0, 75/25, 50/50, 25/75, and 0/100 (/ of dry substances), using lithium phenyl (2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)phosphinate (LAP) as a free radical photoinitiator, for 10 min at a low ultraviolet (UV) intensity (365 nm, 6 mW/cm). The mechanical properties, morphology, pore size, and biodegradability of the PVA-g-GMA/SF-g-GMA hydrogel were investigated.
