| Abstract |
Medial knee osteoarthritis on angular varus deformity of a lower limb is very common. Open-wedge high tibial osteotomy is a treatment of choice if cartilage is not excessively worn (Allback 1 or 2). The technique based on a plate fixation and the bone defect filled with calcium phosphate cement is thoroughly described. Data at 1, 3, 6 months and 1 year of a 19 cases continuous and prospective series are collected and analysed. Mean age at the time of operation was 55 years. The average preoperative varus deformity was 5° and corrected to an average postoperative valgus of 4° (range 3°-6°). Each control includes the collection of eventual complications, the measurement of health status (quality of life and functional scores) and antero-posterior and lateral X-rays. All osteotomies were considered healed at 6 weeks without any correction loss except one, probably result of a technical error. There was no difference in clinical and functional results between the group and the literature, but the final result occurred earlier in the treatment when the bone defect was filled with either calcium phosphate cement. Faster recovery involved no specific complication and enabled outpatient treatment in a majority of patients. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 13 January 2018.
All research outputs
#15,488,947
of 23,016,919 outputs
Outputs from European Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery & Traumatology
#329
of 883 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#270,771
of 443,289 outputs
Outputs of similar age from European Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery & Traumatology
#7
of 18 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,016,919 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 883 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.2. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 51% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 443,289 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 29th percentile – i.e., 29% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 18 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 50% of its contemporaries.
