Typical cases are represented by tibial deformitiesTypical cases are represented by tibial deformities (following osteotomies or fractures)(following osteotomies or fractures)
ValgusValgus Varus Varus
ProfileProfile
• Usual cuts for the femur. Minimal cut for the tibia: Trapezoidal space
In cases of overcorrected valgus Complete lateral ligament release is necessaryComplete lateral ligament release is necessary
The limit of ligament release
• Large release of the concavity in order to obtain rectangular space
• A correction of 20° corresponds to a release of 30 mm ! (Wolf)

2 possible options :2 possible options :
1 - Two-steps 1 - Two-steps with osteotomy first, and then TKA with osteotomy first, and then TKA
2 - 2 - TKA and osteotomy in a single operationTKA and osteotomy in a single operation
In some extreme cases : Isolated TKR is impossible In some extreme cases : Isolated TKR is impossible and associated osteotomy is neededand associated osteotomy is needed
1 - OSTEOTOMY First and TKA later1 - OSTEOTOMY First and TKA later
• Simplicity
• Rapid healing of the osteotomy
• The results are sometimes good enough for TKA to be unnecessary or delayed
• 2 consecutive operations (6 to 12 months)
• 2 anesthesias, 2 rehabilitation tasks, DVT risk

INDICATIONSINDICATIONS
- Length of the limbs
- Bone is available for grafting (bone cuts)
Opening HTO is difficult in previous valgus HTO
Opening HTO is easy for varus tibial deformities
Opening = closing for femoral deformities
Opening or closing wedge osteotomy ?
INDICATIONSINDICATIONS
• Unfrequent operation (19 knees)
(during the same period by the same surgeon : 840 TKA)
• Indicated in cases of severe gonarthrosis and major extra-articular deformity in elderly patients
ConclusionsConclusions
• The results of these extreme cases are similar to those of simple TKA
• There are advantages in doing TKA and osteotomy in a single operation :• Preservation of the joint level (and PCL) and patellar height
• Good balance of the ligaments eliminating the need for highly
constrained TKA
• It is also compatible with the performance of non cemented implants
ConclusionsConclusions
