Retro-tubercle opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy is among the newer techniques for the treatment of genu varum. The goal of this study was to compare the results of retro-tubercle opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy with those of medial opening-wedge osteotomy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    In a randomized, controlled trial, 72 patients with varus knees who were scheduled for surgery were assigned into either the retro-tubercle opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy (n=34) or medial opening-wedge osteotomy groups (n=38). Groups were matched for age and sex. The position of the patella was compared with respect to the tuberosity and the upper tibial slope pre- and postoperatively. Patients were followed for an average of 13 months (range, 10\u201321 months). In the retro-tubercle opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy group, the length of the patellar tendon did not significantly differ pre- and postoperatively (\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2265.5); however, in the medial opening-wedge osteotomy group, a statistically significant shortening was noted in patellar tendon postoperatively (\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2264.05). Similarly, the tibial plateau inclination showed a statistically significant difference postoperatively in the medial opening-wedge osteotomy group, while the difference in the retro-tubercle opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy group did not reach statistical significance.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3928\/01477447-20101221-09","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,22]],"date-time":"2021-04-22T21:23:23Z","timestamp":1619126603000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Modified Retro-Tubercle Opening-Wedge Versus Conventional High Tibial Osteotomy"],"prefix":"10.3928","volume":"34","author":[{"given":"Sohrab","family":"Keyhani","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohammad Reza","family":"Abbasian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Seyed Morteza","family":"Kazemi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ali Akbar","family":"Esmailiejah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hamid Reza","family":"Seyed Hosseinzadeh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ali Sina","family":"Shahi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Farzad","family":"Firouzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2308","reference":[{"issue":"40","key":"e_1_3_1_2_2","first-page":"826","article-title":"Osteotomy for osteoarthritis of the knee","author":"Jackson JP","year":"1958","unstructured":"Jackson JP.
