Abstract: Background: Outcomes and complications at mid- or long-term follow-up after medial open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO) with the TomoFix locking plate have not been fully evaluated. Purpose: To evaluate the complications and midterm clinical outcomes after MOWHTO using a TomoFix. Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4. Methods: Enrolled in this study were 80 patients (85 knees) who underwent MOWHTO with the TomoFix locking plate between 2009 and 2013. There were 66 women and 14 men, with a mean age of 61.5 years at the time of surgery. The diagnosis was medial osteoarthritis in 76 knees and spontaneous osteonecrosis of the knee in 9 knees. Metal removal and second-look arthroscopy were performed in all cases. Clinical and radiological examinations were performed at final follow-up after surgery (mean, 4.5 years). Results: The mean Japanese Orthopaedic Association score and Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score improved significantly from pre- to postoperatively (P< .0001). The weightbearing line percentage shifted to pass through a point 67.7% lateral from the medial edge of the tibial plateau. The Caton-Deschamps index changed significantly from 0.88 to 0.66 at final follow-up (P< .0001). The mean posterior tibial slope changed significantly from 8.9 degrees to 11.9 degrees at final follow-up (P< .0001). Limb length was significantly increased after MOWHTO (10.3 mm;P< .0001). During plate removal, 14 locking screws were found to be broken in 9 knees (10.6%). The articular cartilage grade of the patellofemoral joint was significantly higher in the second arthroscopy than in the first arthroscopy (P< .0001). The cumulative rate of all complications was 41.2%, with major complications (ie, those requiring additional or extended treatment) in 24.7%. Conclusion: Postoperative outcome scores indicated significant improvement after MOWHTO, although the cumulative rate of all complications was 41.2% and the rate of major complications was 24.7%. These results indicate that MOWHTO with the TomoFix is a technically demanding procedure. Careful preoperative planning and meticulous surgical technique are needed to decrease the incidence of complications associated with MOWHTO.
