Summary

This study will compare Hight Tibial Osteotomy with or without Fulkerson Osteotomy performed on patients with early stages of Osteoarthritis with patellofemoral joint disorders. The purpose of this study is evaluate which type of osteotomy provides better clinical, radiological and laboratory outcomes.

Detailed description

Progression of knee cartilage degenerative changes leads to necessary total knee arthroplasty in future, which is the most popular procedure for treating OA. HTO applied at early stages of osteoarthritis allow slow down cartilage degeneration process, but the choice of performed surgery depends on surgeons personal assessment. Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome often occurs with knee arthritis. Antero-medialisation of tibial tubercle is frequent procedures for patella maltracking. So far, both, HTO and Fulkerson osteotomy was performed separately, even if patient have symptoms from patellofemoral joint and OA. The investigators believe that simultaneously surgery of HTO and fulkerson Osteotomy provides better outcomes and significantly slow down knee degeneration.
