Zusammenfassung
Kniegelenknahe Korrekturosteotomien bei unikompartimenteller Gonarthrose haben in
den letzten Jahren eine starke Renaissance erlebt. Sie müssen als Alternative zum
monokompartimentellen oder kompletten Gelenkersatz mit bedacht werden.
Abstract
Osteotomies around the knee in unicompartimental osteoarthritis had an impressing
revival in the past few years and have to be kept in mind as an alternative to total
knee arthroplasty. The most frequent type of osteotomies around the knee is the medial
open wedge high tibia osteotomy (MOWHTO). But still also closed wedge high tibia osteotomies
(CWHTO) have their relevance in many cases. Distal femur osteotomies (DFO) are used
more and more frequently in most cases as closed wedge, the open wedge DFO shows more
problems in bone healing. All osteotomies with isolated correction in frontal plane
should be done with a biplanar bonecut. In cases of severe varus and valgus malalignment
a double-level osteotomy (combined femoral and tibial osteotomy) has to be executed.
Severity and frequency of adverse events in osteotomies around the knee are mostly
comparable to those in arthroplasty, except non-union which is only related to osteotomies
and more often seen in smokers. There are nearly no age limits for osteotomies around
the knee. Ten years-survival in HTOs are about 85 to 91% according to literature.
