Although there are numerous systematic reviews evaluating the management and outcomes after HTO, there are few investigations on complications of this procedure.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Purpose:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To systematically review the literature to determine the incidence of intraoperative and postoperative complications associated with medial opening wedge and lateral closing wedge HTOs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Study Design:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Systematic review; Level of evidence, 4.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, PubMed, Embase, and MEDLINE databases were queried for studies reporting complications associated with HTO with or without concomitant procedures. Data including patient characteristics, procedure type, concomitant procedures, follow-up time, and postoperative imaging were extracted. Rates of intra- and postoperative complications, reoperations, and conversion to arthroplasty were recorded.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 71 studies were included for analysis, comprising 7836 patients. The overall intraoperative complication rate during HTO was 5.5% (range, 0%-29.3%), and the overall postoperative complication rate was 6.9% (range, 0%-26.6%). The most common intraoperative complication was lateral hinge fracture (incidence, 9.1%; range, 0%-30.4%) in medially based HTOs and peroneal nerve injury in laterally based HTOs (incidence, 3.2%; range, 0%-8.7%). The overall incidence of neurovascular injury after medially or laterally based HTOs was 1.1% (range, 0%-18.9%). The most common postoperative complication was superficial infection (incidence, 2.2%; range, 0%-13%). Of the included studies, 62 included postoperative radiographic analysis, and among those, the incidence of nonunion was 1.9% (range, 0%-15.5%), loss of correction was 1.2% (range, 0%-34.3%), and implant failure was 1.0% (range, 0%-10.2%). Among studies reporting revision surgeries, the overall reoperation rate was 15.5% (range, 0%-70.7%), with the most common type of reoperation being hardware removal (incidence, 10.0%; range, 0%-60%).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Intraoperatively, medially based HTOs are associated with a 1 in 11 risk of lateral hinge fracture and laterally based HTOs with a 1 in 30 risk of peroneal nerve injury. Postoperative complication rates in the range of 10% to 15% can be expected, including infection (2.9%), loss of correction (1.2%), and nonunion (1.9%). Patients should also be counseled that the reoperation rate is approximately 15%, with hardware removal being the most common procedure.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/03635465221142868","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,13]],"date-time":"2023-02-13T07:49:59Z","timestamp":1676274599000},"page":"258-268","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":70,"title":["Incidence of Complications and Revision Surgery After High Tibial Osteotomy: A Systematic Review"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"52","author":[{"given":"Benjamin","family":"Miltenberg","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Tufts University School of Medicine, Boston, Massachusetts, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Richard N.","family":"Puzzitiello","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Tufts Medical Center, Boston, Massachusetts, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Verdinand C.B.","family":"Ruelos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tufts University School of Medicine, Boston, Massachusetts, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Raisa","family":"Masood","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Tufts Medical Center, Boston, Massachusetts, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nicholas R.","family":"Pagani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Tufts Medical Center, Boston, Massachusetts, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael A.","family":"Moverman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Tufts Medical Center, Boston, Massachusetts, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mariano E.","family":"Menendez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Rush University Medical Center, Chicago, Illinois, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Scott P.","family":"Ryan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Tufts Medical Center, Boston, Massachusetts, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9928-0879","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Matthew J.","family":"Salzler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Tufts Medical Center, Boston, Massachusetts, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Justin","family":"Drager","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Tufts Medical Center, Boston, Massachusetts, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jcot.2016.06.012"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00264-015-2919-z"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1302\/1863-2548.15.200097"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00264-009-0937-4"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2106\/00004623-200001000-00009"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546513516577"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.otsr.2020.08.002"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.otsr.2011.06.011"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1302\/0301-620X.88B11.17743"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/PRS.0b013e318219c171"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00167-015-3752-z"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.knee.2010.05.009"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00264-019-04372-4"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/hae.13566"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/03635465211028985"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_17_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00167-014-2914-8"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_18_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0039-3400742"},{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_3_3_19_2","first-page":"64","article-title":"Complications following medial opening wedge osteotomy of the knee: retrospective study","volume":"46","author":"de Mello Junior WA","year":"2015","unstructured":"de Mello Junior WA, Arruda LRP, Coluccini AM, et al.
