Main intention of the research is to understand about significance of techniques\nassociated with HTO. This research reviewed the techniques of high\ntibial osteotomy namely high tibial osteotomy, open wedge high tibial osteotomy,\nclosedhigh tibial osteotomy. Patients who are suffering from knee arthritis,\nhigh tibial osteotomy assists to prevent or delay the requirement for\ntotal or partial replacement of knee to preserve damaged tissue of joint. High\ntibial osteotomy technique is mainly suitable for active and young patients with\nknee osteoarthritis. Age plays a main factor in success rate of high tibial osteotomy\ntechnique. It could be done in open wedge or closed wedge high tibial\nosteotomy. For some cases, surgery could be done in combined method (open\nwedge and closed wedge high tibial osteotomy). When compared with clinical\noutcomes of closed wedge high tibial osteotomy and open wedge high tibial\nosteotomy, open wedge high tibial osteotomy performs well in reducing the\npain, duration of weight-bearing and return to normal life as soon as possible.
