In medial unicompartmental osteoarthritis of knee with varus deformity, a valgus realignment high tibial osteotomy (HTO) is a treatment option in selective active patients. In this study, we evaluated functional outcome in medial open wedge high tibial osteotomy in selected patients. This study was conducted with twenty young active patients with medial compartmental osteoarthritis allocated for medial biplanar open wedge high tibial osteotomy, stabilised with non-locking plate with or without autologous bone grafting or bone graft substitute. All patient assessed pre-operative and post-operative period by Knee society score, VAS score. In our study, range of movement, Knee score, pain score, functional score, over all final result according to knee society score improved that is statistically significant.
