Changes in demographics and physical activities of the young population have increased the number of patients with medial unicompartmental knee osteoarthritis (OA) requiring surgical intervention. High tibial osteotomy (HTO) have shown good clinical results in restoring lower extremity alignment, reducing pain, and improving knee function in patients with moderate-to-severe knee osteoarthritis and genu varum deformity. The aim of this study is to evaluate the relation between correction of the malalignment of the knee and ankle pain and orientation in patient of medial compartment knee osteoarthritis using high tibial osteotomy by recent reports concerning the indications, functional outcomes and complication.
