title: [Proximal tibial valgus osteotomy semi-invasive technique. A report on 66 cases].
abstract: The purpose of the present study is to report sixty six high tibial lateral osteotomies (HTO) make on patients with osteoarthrosis of the medial compartment, using modified semi invasive technique. With this technique the incision is 5-6 mm, fibular head is not resect, biceps femoris tendon is not cut, no internal fixation is place; the median follow-up was 6.4 years. The status of the patient at the final follow-up was analyzed using Knee Society Score (KSS), and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). An average of 85 points was achieved after HTO compared to 55 points preoperative and 83 points after HTO compared to 51 points preoperative, was obtained at the evaluation with KSS. The only complication was superficial infections (4%). Serious complications did not appear. There was not pseudoarthrosis.
