Abstract
High tibial osteotomy (HTO) is a well-established technique for the treatment of medial osteoarthritis of the knee with varus malalignment. OWHTO has several advantages over CWHTO. However, several pitfalls should be avoided such as lateral hinge fracture, increased tibial slope angle, joint line obliquity, popliteal artery injury, delayed or nonunion. The surgical details of OWHTO surgical technique are described in this chapter.
