Abstract
Background
Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a globally prevalent condition leading to joint pain and disabilities. Surgical interventions such as opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) and opening-wedge distal tuberosity osteotomy (OWDTO) aim to alleviate symptoms and delay disease progression. Quadriceps strength, crucial for knee function, may decline postoperatively, affecting patient outcomes. However, little is known about quadriceps strength variation after OWHTO and OWDTO. This study investigated changes in quadriceps strength before and after OWHTO and OWDTO.
Methods
This retrospective study included patients who underwent OWHTO or OWDTO between 2016 and 2022. Quadriceps strength and demographic and surgical data were collected preoperatively and at 6 and 12 months postoperatively. Statistical analyses were performed to compare changes in quadriceps strength over time.
Results
Of 120 knees, 52 (OWHTO, 27; OWDTO, 25) were included in this study. Quadriceps strength increased over 12 months post-OWHTO, significantly improving at 12 months compared to the preoperative and 6-month values. In OWDTO, the strength improved but not significantly.
Conclusions
Quadriceps strength improved following OWHTO and OWDTO, with OWHTO showing significant enhancements. Future studies should investigate the relationship between quadriceps strength and functional outcomes and guide rehabilitation strategies for improved postoperative recovery.
