Abstract

The aim of this study is to know weather a previous tibial osteotomy has influence in placing a total knee arthroplasty as well as its influence in the outcome of these cases. Therefore, we have done a comparative study between knees with previous osteotomy (16 knees) and a control group (116 knees). Functional, clinical and radiological evaluation was done according to American Knee Society score system. The improvement in cases with a previous tibial osteotomy was less than in the control group. In addititon, this cases showed an increase of bad results and, furthermore, a more frequent deficient placing of the tibial component.
