Five hundred and forty-four valgus osteotomies for medial compartment osteoarthritis of the knee have been performed by two teams working separately over a period of twenty years between 1964 and 1984. From this series the results of a technique which aims to combine precision of correction with stability of fixation have been assessed. The clinical results in the short and medium term are encouraging. Above all, it seems that improvement in the osteoarthritis can be maintained for ten years or more, that is to say greater than the mean expectation of life of the patients.
1964年至1984年的二十年间，两个团队分别进行了544例针对膝关节内侧间室骨关节炎的外翻截骨术。从这个系列研究中，对一种旨在将矫正精度与固定稳定性相结合的技术结果进行了评估。短期和中期的临床结果令人鼓舞。最重要的是，骨关节炎的改善似乎可以维持十年或更长时间，也就是说超过了患者的平均预期寿命。
