High Tibial Osteotomy: How to Get it Right and Avoid Complications (Case based lecture) (4/4)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses the importance of osteotomies, specifically high tibial osteotomies (HTO), as a solution for knee preservation. They emphasize the need for proper alignment in surgeries and the positive outcomes associated with HTOs for medial arthritis. The speaker also mentions a database study that shows reduced risk of reoperations, similar rates of complications, and similar overall costs when alignment correction is added to the algorithm. They discuss the patient population that would benefit from HTOs, such as physiologically young, active patients with mild to moderate unicompartmental arthritis. The speaker also touches on the use of patient-specific instrumentation and 3D printing for accurate planning and execution of osteotomies. They discuss potential complications, contraindications, surgical techniques, as well as considerations for managing complications and post-operative care. The video ends by highlighting the importance of continuous learning and staying updated on evolving technologies and techniques.
