Abstract

High tibial osteotomy is one of established methods in the treatment for medial knee osteoarthritis with varus deformity in younger patients. Infections after high tibial osteotomy are rare. Infection management is difficult, but there is no definitely standardized treatment. We report the case of infection after high tibial osteotomy that was treated clinically and radio-graphically with literature reviews.
