ARTHRITIS, OSTEOARTHRITIS, REGRESSIONS
In this prospective study, 20 patients underwent medial opening wedge HTO in combination with BMC injection with 12 months of follow-up. The structural and radiographic outcomes were evaluated by femorotibial angle and posterior tibial slope angle. The clinical outcomes were evaluated by visual analogue scale (VAS), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC), and The Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS). Multivariate nonlinear mixed-effects models with asymptotic regressions were used to model the trajectory of symptom improvement.
