A medial open wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO) is an effective surgical procedure to correct varus deformity related to Knee Osteoarthritis. It consistently provides relief in knee pain and improves knee function. This technique is recommended for active, middle and old aged individuals with an isolated medial compartment knee OA. The MOWHTO scores several advantages over lateral closed wedge osteotomy and hence is now a preferred choice of HTO.
内侧开放楔形高位胫骨截骨术(MOWHTO)是一种纠正与膝关节骨关节炎相关的内翻畸形的有效外科手术。它能持续缓解膝关节疼痛并改善膝关节功能。该技术推荐用于患有单纯内侧间室膝关节骨关节炎的活跃的中老年人。与外侧闭合楔形截骨术相比,MOWHTO有多个优势,因此现在是高位胫骨截骨术的首选。
