Observation on the Clinical Efficacy of High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO) Combined with Arthroscopic Surgery in the Treatment of Medial Knee Osteoarthritis

Objective: To explore the clinical effect of high tibial osteotomy (HTO) combined with arthroscopic surgery in clinical treatment of patients with medial knee osteoarthritis. Methods: 64 patients with medial knee osteoarthritis were included for data analysis. The selected patients were classified into groups using the double-blind method and named as the control group (32 cases, treated with high tibial osteotomy) and the observation group (32 cases, treated with high tibial osteotomy combined with arthroscopic surgery), and the differences between the groups were compared. Results: Compared with the control group, the postoperative HSS score, quality of life score, and Lysholm knee joint performance of the study group The joint scale score was significantly higher; the VAS score and postoperative complications were significantly lower; the femoral tibial angle (FTA) was smaller, and the platform posterior inclination angle was larger, p < 0.05. Conclusion: The combination of high tibial osteotomy (HTO) and arthroscopic surgery in the clinical treatment of patients with medial knee osteoarthritis has ideal results. It can not only improve the clinical efficacy, but also improve the patient’s knee joint function, relieve the patient’s pain, and optimize the quality of life.
