Official Title: Impact of High Tibial Osteotomy in Preventing Disease Progression in Medial Knee Osteoarthritis: Quantifying the Effects on Cartilage and Subchondral Bone by Using a Combined Biomechanical and Medical
Brief Summary:
High tibial osteotomy (HTO) surgical procedure can lead to clinically significant improvements in the cartilage and in subchondral bone quality, with a slow down of the osteoarthritis (OA) progression.Aim of the project is to:(i) clinically validate a 3D planned HTO surgical approach, through a quantitative grading of OA progression in a prospective randomized case-control clinical trial; (ii) correlate the internal knee loads with the changes assessed in cartilage and subchondral bone status to verify the…
