Introduction Low tibial valgus osteotomy for varus type OA have presented outstanding clinical results. However, after the procedure, some patients with congruent lateral talar gutter have complained of lateral gutter pain Purpose To identify influence of lateral talar gutter congruency on the clinical and radiological outcomes after oblique supramalleolar osteotomy without fibular osteotomy
Materials and Methods Aug 2008 ~ Aug 2011 34 Oblique supramalleolar osteotomy 34 consecutive patients Takakura stage 2 or 3A Without fibular osteotomy Clinical Evaluations 6 weeks, 3 and 6 months, annually Visual analogue scale (VAS) AOFAS score Mean F/U : 37.2 months (24 to 70) VS Congruent type Incongruent type 16 Cases 18 Cases
Materials and Methods Radiological Evaluations Weight-bearing true AP and lateral view radiographs preoperatively and postoperatively Measurement of radiological parameters An independent observer TAS, TLS, TT angles tibioplafond angle (normal ave. 93 ) lateral tibial articular angle (normal ave. 80.0 )

Discussion Cause of lateral gutter pain Oblique SMO without fibular Osteotomy Lateral gutter space Lateral gutter pressure Lateral gutter pain Congruent varus ankle
Conclusion (takakura state II,IIIA) Incongruent type Lateral gutter congruency? Congruent type Yes Only Oblique SMO without fibular osteotomy SMO with fibular osteotomy
