High tibial osteotomy is a simple and safe method to correct the varus gonarthritic knee. Numerous follow-up studies have demonstrated that this procedure gives satisfactory functional results for 10-15 years after surgery, above all if a precise valgus hypercorrection of 8°-10° is carried out. The present study attempts to deal with another, less discussed topic: evaluation of the efficacy of external fixation after osteotomy synthesis with respect to the most common plate and screw synthesis as well as to the Insall procedure.

Abstract
High tibial osteotomy is a simple and safe method to correct the varus gonarthritic knee. Numerous follow-up studies have demonstrated that this procedure gives satisfactory functional results for 10-15 years after surgery, above all if a precise valgus hypercorrection of 8°-10° is carried out. The present study attempts to deal with another, less discussed topic: evaluation of the efficacy of external fixation after osteotomy synthesis with respect to the most common plate and screw synthesis as well as to the Insall procedure.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
