Abstract: Medial wedge opening high tibial osteotomy (MWOHTO) is effective for a variety of knee conditions, knee osteoarthritis with varus malalignment and proximal tibial deformity without arthritic changes are among the indications. Although it is a highly successful, complications such as non-union, delayed union and fixation failure are still occurring. In this study, we are describing the results of using an extra focal screw fixation while performing (MWOHTO) as a new technique to obtain extra stability at the osteotomy site.
