About this study
Official title: Evaluation of the Results of High Tibial Osteotomy with or Without Lateral Patellar Facetectomy in Treatment of Combined Patellofemoral and Medial Compartment Knee Osteoarthritis; a Comparative Study
Evaluate the results of management of patients with patellofemoral and medial compartment knee osteoarthritis with open wedge high tibial osteotomy with or without arthroscopic partial lateral patellar facetectomy
Read the detailed description
Patients will undergo OWHTO in a standardized fashion by the same team of surgeons.
They will be randomly divided into 2 groups either OWHTO with arthroscopic partial lateral patellar facetectomy or OWHTO without arthroscopic partial lateral patellar facetectomy in a 1:1 ratio.
The patient will be placed supine on the operating table. After the induction of spinal anesthesia, a knee examination will be performed to evaluate for any concurrent pathology and to assess for knee range of motion, patellar mobility, position, instability, and patellar crepitus during knee flexion. A well-padded thigh tourniquet will be placed on the upper thigh of the operative leg to maintain a bloodless field. The surgical leg will be prepared and draped in a sterile fashion, the leg exsanguinated, and the tourniquet inflated. an arthroscope will be inserted through the anteromedial, anterolateral and suprapatellar portals to access the entire perimeter of the patella. The joint will be insufflated with normal saline and visualized with a 30 degree arthroscope. Diagnostic arthroscopy will be performed in all cases to assess PF articular cartilage degeneration, classify the cartilage defect using the Outterbridge classification , assess the lateral compartment and exclude any other pathology. An arthroscopic shaver will be inserted into the knee and any notable adhesions will be removed. Any meniscal, cartilage, or ligamentous injury may be treated first. The knee will be taken throughout a range of motion to directly visualize the impingement of the lateral patellar facet against the trochlea. Next, a radiofrequency probe will be used to outline the area to be resected along the lateral patellar facet While maintaining the knee at 20 degree of flexion, a 5.5-mm burr is introduced, and under arthroscopic visualization, the lateral patellar osteophyte and the overhanging portion of the lateral facet will be carefully resected. Once the bony resection is complete, the knee is dynamically re-evaluated (through flexion and extension) for residual impingement and to assess for improvements in patellar mobility. Patellar tracking will be assessed to verify that there is no catching in flexion and that patellar mobility is improved.
After arthroscopic partial lateral patellar facetectomy, all patients will undergo OWHTO. All procedures will be performed based on the technique recommended by the AO international knee expert group. Biplanar osteotomy, which comprises osteotomies in the axial and frontal planes, was performed in all cases. Ascending frontal osteotomy, leaving the tibial tuberosity on the distal fragment, was also performed. All osteotomies will be performed without the use of additional bone grafts, and the opening of the osteotomy will be maintained with a Tomofix plate (Orthomed-E Co., Egypt). Wound closure was performed in layers.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS)
The KOOS's five patient-relevant dimensions are scored separately: Pain (nine items); Symptoms (seven items); ADL Function (17 items); Sport and Recreation Function (five items); Quality of Life (four items). A Likert scale is used and all items have five possible answer options scored from 0 (No problems) to 4 (Extreme problems) and each of the five scores is calculated as the sum of the items included. Scores are transformed to a 0-100 scale, with zero representing extreme knee problems and 100representing no knee problems as common in orthopedic scales and generic measures. Scores between 0 and 100 represent the percentage of total possible score achieved.
Measured: during the follow-up period for 2years (2 weeks, 4 weeks, 6 weeks, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years postoperatively)
Kujala Score (Anterior Knee Pain Scale - AKPS)
The Kujala Score or Anterior Knee Pain Scale (AKPS) is a 13-item self-report questionnaire that assesses subjective reactions to particular activities and symptoms that are known to correlate with anterior knee pain syndrome. The AKPS is graded on a scale of 0 to 100, with 100 being the highest possible score. Lower scores reflect greater pain and disability.
Measured: during the follow-up period for 2 years (2 weeks, 4 weeks, 6 weeks, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years postoperatively)

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing open wedge high tibial osteotomy and Arthroscopic partial lateral patellar facetectomy in people with Knee Osteoarthritis, run by Sohag University at 1 site in Egypt.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Jan 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Egypt. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Ahmed Tarek Ahmed, Assistant lecturer (01033667677, Ahmed.Tarek@med.sohag.edu.eg), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) (time frame: during the follow-up period for 2years (2 weeks, 4 weeks, 6 weeks, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years postoperatively)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06762171, which also lists 9 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
