Effect of body mass index on short-term results of knee realignment surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial looks at how weight affects the early results of a surgery called high tibial osteotomy (HTO) for people with knee arthritis. It might help if you have arthritis only on the inner side of one knee and are thinking about surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have knee arthritis only on the inside of one knee.
- You do not have any serious medical conditions.
- Non-surgical treatments (like physical therapy or medicines) haven't helped, and you are willing to have surgery.
- Your knee can bend more than 90 degrees, and your leg deformity is less than 15 degrees.
- Your knee ligaments are intact and pain is only on the inner side of your knee.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 35 or lower, and you don't have severe obesity caused by other conditions.

This study compares a custom 3D-printed surgical guide to the standard technique for a knee realignment surgery called high tibial osteotomy. It is for people with knee arthritis on the inner side of the knee who have not improved with other treatments.
This trial tests a treatment for people with knee arthritis affecting the inner and front parts of the knee. It aims to help relieve pain and improve function without needing a full knee replacement.
This trial compares two methods for a knee realignment surgery called a high tibial osteotomy (HTO) to treat arthritis on the inner side of the knee. The study aims to see if one technique leads to better results or fewer complications.
This trial compares different ways of correcting a bow-legged deformity by cutting the shin bone and opening a wedge. The goal is to find the best alignment to reduce knee pain and slow arthritis.
This study compares two surgical methods for realigning a knock-kneed position (varus deformity) to relieve inner knee arthritis pain. The surgery cuts and repositions the shin bone to shift weight away from the damaged area, potentially delaying or avoiding knee replacement.
This study tests how well a realignment surgery (osteotomy) works for people with mild knee arthritis and a bent knee that's at least 3 degrees off center. The surgery may also fix other knee problems like a torn meniscus or ligament at the same time.
