A renewed interest in high tibial osteotomy (HTO) for medial compartmental knee osteoarthritis and complex knee instabilities is evident. The recognition of the importance of lower limb alignment and of the role of HTO in disease modification and in the protection and restoration of joint homeostasis have made the procedure a viable treatment option in the younger, more demanding patient. This symposia will address the current and future application of knee osteotomy including primary and concomitant osteotomy.
