Abstract
We systematically reviewed the published literature
on the complications of closing wedge high tibial osteotomy for
the treatment of unicompartmental osteoarthritis of the knee. Publications
were identified using the Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, EMBASE and
CINAHL databases up to February 2012. We assessed randomised (RCTs), controlled
group clinical (CCTs) trials, case series in publications associated
with closing wedge osteotomy of the tibia in patients with osteoarthritis
of the knee and finally a Cochrane review. Many of these trials
included comparative studies (opening wedge versus closing
wedge) and there was heterogeneity in the studies that prevented
pooling of the results.
