摘　　要：BACKGROUND Most populations worldwide,who are used to squatting and sitting cross-legged for their activities of daily living,largely comprise the lower socioeconomic strata,thus making them candidates for exclusion for total knee arthroplasty.Proximal/high tibial osteotomy(HTO)is a preferred strategy for clinically symptomatic osteoarthritis(OA)with genu varum due to painful medial compartment OA which is not amenable to conservative measures.AIM To evaluate the outcomes of medial open-wedge HTO along with autologous bone grafting and buttress plate for the treatment of genu varum due to OA of the knee in a rural population of central India.METHODS A total of 65 knees in 56 patients with a mean age of 58.22±5.63 years with genu varum due to intractable painful knee OA were treated with medial open-wedge HTO along with autologous bone grafting and buttress plate osteosynthesis from June 2015 to May 2018.The mean preoperative radiological angle of genu varum was 13.4°.Clinical outcomes were assessed by the range of movement,knee scores,pain scores,and functional scores.Radiographic studies were performed preoperatively and at regular intervals during the follow-up period.RESULTS All patients reported pain relief immediately after the osteotomy and during the long-term analysis covering between one to three years.The genu varum angle was overcorrected to approximately four degrees in all patients.There was a loss of reduction by approximately three degrees in all patients at around six weeks postoperatively.Preoperative knee movements were restored in all patients.No major perioperative complications were noted during surgery and postoperative follow-up and the clinical scores were significantly improved during the final analysis which revealed good pain relief.CONCLUSION Medial open-wedge HTO is a reliable,safe,practical,physiological,and feasible treatment for populations who are used to increased activity in their occupation and lifestyle and is associated with excellent short-term and long-term results for OA
