Abstract
The need for a total knee arthroplasty (TKA) after a valgus high tibial osteotomy (HTO) presents several difficulties. The osteotomy induces a bone deformity that can lead to unbalanced bone cuts if the resection is based on ligament balancing techniques. This potential difficulty should be considered before surgery, anticipated, and planned for a thorough clinical and radiologic examination.
