Is opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy superior to closing-wedge high tibial osteotomy in treatment of unicompartmental osteoarthritis? A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

High tibial osteotomy (HTO) is an effective surgical technique that can stop or inhibit progression of knee osteoarthritis (OA) and avoid or postpone the need for knee arthroplasty. This meta-analysis determined whether opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) was superior to closing-wedge high tibial osteotomy (CWHTO) in treatment of unicompartmental OA.
