Abstract:
:Examinations of bone density changes in selected knee bone ends were evaluated prospectively in a randomized group of 28 patients, aged from 41 to 65 (mean: 55.3 years), who had varus deformations of their mechanic limb axes, mean 8 degrees. The examinations were conducted during the preoperative period, 10 days, 3, 6, and 12 weeks, as well as 6 and 12 months after the procedure. A statistically significant increase in bone density was observed in the medial tibial condyle area, while a statistically insignificant decrease of bone density was noted in the medial femoral condyles. Bone density increased in the lateral tibial condyle area, whereas there were no density changes in the area of the lateral femoral condyles. The research results demonstrate that the relief achieved in ailments after high tibial osteotomies does not directly correspond to the bone density of the affected areas.
