Video Summary
The video presents research on high-tibial osteotomy (HTO) in the active-duty military population. The study aimed to determine if preoperative knee pathology or intraoperative correction were associated with successful return to duty and if reoperation was linked to failure to return to duty. The researchers identified 55 cases of HTO and found that 55% of patients returned to full duty, while 27% returned with activity restrictions, and 18% failed, either undergoing conversion to arthroplasty or medical separation. Reoperation was associated with failure to return to duty. Varus deformity and age were also factors in determining successful return to duty. The study concludes that HTO can successfully return young, high-demand military patients to duty.
