Summary

We present a long term evaluation of 100 high valgus tibial osteotomies with a mean follow up of 11 years. Knees with slight or moderate osteoarthritis had the best results. Slight overcorrection was beneficial, but gross overcorrection was not. There were few complications and the overall long term results were good.

Résumé

Nous présentons une évaluation à long terme de cent ostéotomies de valgisation de l'extrémité supérieure du tibia, avec un recul moyen de 11 ans. Ce sont les genoux atteints d'arthrose minime ou modérée qui ont eu les meilleurs résultats. Les hypercorrections légères ont été bénéfiques mais non les hypercorrections excessives. Il n'y a eu que peu de complications et dans l'ensemble les résultats à long terme ont été bons.
