Tibia Vara Causing OA knee







63 year old lady 14 years after conservatively treated diaphsyeal fracture tibia presented painful knee with medial and patellofemoral OA


Planned to do a metaphyseal corrective osteotomy followed by a TKR- one stage and grafting. Touch wt bearing for 6 weeks. Fibula was not osteotomised as adequete correction and compression and grafting was thought to be sufficient.

  1. We decided to do Diaphyseal corrective osteotomy, Plate and graft it and then do a simultaneous TKR. The longest stem available would not by pass the osteotomy adequetly. The angulation was distal as well as too big to correct intra articularly
