Outline of Final Research Achievements

One of the problems in the super aged society is the dysfunctions in the locomotorium, and knee osteoarthritis is the most frequent disease above all. In this study, we estimated and informed the clinical outcome and findings of new surgical method (Tibial Condylar Valgus Osteotomy: TCVO) for the knee osteoarthritis ahead of the world. As a result of being important, TCVO is useful for severe osteoarthritis with huge defect of medical proximal tibial plateau. For relative active, late middle-aged patient with wide range of motion, TCVO is useful as one of surgical options except for total knee arthroplasty. We provided the valuable results that could contribute to the spread of TCVO in this study.
