title: Fixation of the tibial component of total knee arthroplasty after high tibial osteotomy: a matched radiostereometric study.
abstract: To assess migration of the tibial component we used roentgen stereophotogrammetric analysis in 40 patients who had had a total knee arthroplasty after failure of a closing wedge osteotomy and compared them with 40 matched patients after primary total knee arthroplasty. We found no difference in migration over time or in the tendency for continuous migration between the two groups. There were no differences in alignment or position of the knee prosthesis or in the clinical outcome. Our findings show that revision of a failed high tibial osteotomy to a total knee arthroplasty is effective.
