Abstract | Purpose: To assess serial changes of preoperative bone marrow lesion (BML) following medial open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO) up to 2 years and evaluate whether postoperative change of BML affected patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) at 2 years' follow-up. Factors related to the postoperative changes in BML also were evaluated. Methods: The current study retrospectively assessed prospectively collected data of consecutive patients between December 2016 and March 2018 who underwent MOWHTO for symptomatic knee osteoarthritis with varus malalignment (≥5°) and a minimum 2-year follow-up. Serial magnetic resonance imaging scans at preoperative and postoperative 3, 6, 18, and 24 months were performed, and the extent of BML was evaluated consecutively using 2 validated methods. Clinically, preoperative and postoperative PROMs and their achievement of minimal clinically important difference values were evaluated. The associations of the extent of BMLs with PROMs at each follow-up period over time were analyzed using a linear mixed model. Furthermore, factors related to the postoperative changes of BML were assessed. Results: Of 26 patients, 21 (80.8%) had preoperative BML at medial femoral and tibial condyles. The postoperative decrease in BML was noted in 17 (81.0%) and 18 (85.7%) at medial femoral and tibial condyles. The BML decreased at postoperative 3 months and, thereafter, the extent of BML gradually reduced until postoperative 24 months. The proportion of patients achieved minimal clinically important difference was 84.6% for total Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index scores and 80.8%, 76.9%, and 84.6% for KOOS symptom, pain, and activity of daily living subscales. Postoperative decrease in BML was significantly associated with better PROMs over postoperative 24 months. Furthermore, normo-correction (2°-5° valgus) was a significant factor for decreased BML following MOWHTO. Conclusions: Preoperative BML gradually decreased with time following MOWHTO, and the postoperative decrease in BML related with better PROMs over postoperative 24 months. Moreover, postoperative valgus alignment was a significant factor relating the postoperative decrease of BML. Level of evidence: Level IV, retrospective case series. |
