High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO) Versus Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty (UKA) in Medial-Compartment Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA): A Critical Narrative Review of Comparative Costs and Cost-Effectiveness

Pharmacoepidemiology | 2026 | Furkan Yapıcı

Background: Medial-compartment knee osteoarthritis (KOA) carries substantial disability and long-term cost. High tibial osteotomy (HTO) and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) are key joint-preserving or joint-replacing options for selected patients, but their comparative economic ranking remains uncertain. Methods: This critical narrative review synthesized comparative ec...

High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO), Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty (UKA), and Proximal Fibular Osteotomy (PFO) for Medial-Compartment Knee Osteoarthritis: A Narrative Review of Comparative Mechanisms, Clinical Outcomes, and Decision-Making

Journal of Clinical Medicine | 2025 | Furkan Yapıcı

Background: Medial-compartment knee osteoarthritis with varus alignment is treated surgically by realignment (high tibial osteotomy, HTO), resurfacing (unicompartmental knee arthroplasty, UKA), or proximal fibular osteotomy (PFO), which aims to indirectly unload the medial tibial plateau. Methods: We conducted a structured narrative review (PubMed/MEDLINE, Google Scholar; 2000–...

UNICOMPARTMENTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY VERSUS HIGH TIBIAL OSTEOTOMY: AN ANALYSIS OF PATIENT-REPORTED HEALTH OUTCOMES

Orthopaedic Proceedings | 2023 | F. Wyatt, O. Al-Dadah

Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) and high tibial osteotomy (HTO) are well-established operative interventions in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis (KOA). However, which of these interventions is more beneficial, to patients with KOA, is not known and remains a topic of much debate.Aims: (i) To determine whether UKA or HTO is more beneficial in the treatment of isolat...

Effect of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty and high tibial osteotomy with tomofix internal fixation in the treatment of unicompartmental knee osteoarthritis

Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine | 2020 | Yingzhou Hou, Shaohua Wang, Aiguo Wang

Introduction: Knee osteoarthritis is a common degenerative disease in the elderly clinically. Cartilage damage, osteophyte formation, joint space narrowing and bone exposure are the main pathological changes, mainly manifested as joint cartilage degeneration [1]. Since the knee joint load of normal people is mainly conducted through the medial side of the knee joint, it is easy...
