Details and patient eligibility

About

High tibial osteotomy (HTO is often indicated in physically active patients. The insertion of a bone graft during surgery has been shown to have good clinical and biomechanical outcomes, however objective data regarding post-surgery physical activity (PA) levels in patients who have undergone HTO with and without bone grafts does not exist in the literature.

Using accelerometers and questionnaires, this study will be the first to investigate this in an objective way.
