Abstract

The treatment of symptomatic chondral defects in weight-bearing areas of the knee in active middle-aged athletes is still controversial. Biological treatment options often fail and joint replacement surgeries are not suitable for this demographic due to early loosening and high failure rates. High tibial osteotomy is the treatment of choice for knee arthritis with varus malalignment, but contraindications and mechanical complications limit its use. The combination of high tibial osteotomy with inlay resurfacing demonstrates a promising new direction in combination therapy possibly benefitting mechanical properties and survival rates.
