概要 BACKGROUND:The subjective health related quality of life in patients with degenerative joint diseases is an important variable to evaluate the treatment outcome. In this study, mid-term results of open wedge HTO were analysed and compared to the subjective quality of life (SF 36) of the general population. Furthermore, the relationships of preoperative assessed subscales of the health-related quality of life (SF 36) and the conversion to knee arthroplasty were analysed.METHODS:The cohort consisted of 120 patients who were prospectively followed-up after open wedge HTO. At five follow-up points of time, patients were examined and asked about their subjective, health-related quality of life using the SF 36 score.RESULTS:104 patients were included and evaluated until the last follow-up (mean: 81.2 ± 11.3 months after open wedge HTO; follow-up rate: 86.7%). Six years after open wedge HTO, similar values in several psychologic subscales of the SF 36 (BP, GH, V, MH) and the mental health component summary score (MCS) compared to the general population were found. The physical health component summary score (PCS) showed a significant improvement relative to the preoperative values. Nine out of 104 patients (8.7%) received a knee arthroplasty (50.1 ± 25.0 months). Low preoperative values of the subscales "physical functioning" (PF) and "bodily pain" (BP) were identified as risk factors in terms of conversion to a total knee arthroplasty.CONCLUSIONS:Patients with medial unicompartimental knee osteoarthrosis treated with open wedge HTO showed very good results. The health-related quality of life was nearly as high as in the general population. Patients with preoperative low physical function and high pain values have a higher risk to have a conversion to knee arthroplasty. Surgeons should be aware of these factors if an open wedge HTO is considered.
