What is HTO-Planner?

Medial compartment knee osteoarthritis (MCOA) represents a common condition in physically active patients after the age of 30. The treatment of younger patients remains challenging and high tibial osteotomy (HTO) would represent the ideal option, since it aims to unload the degenerated compartment, reduce pain, slow-down OA progression by re-aligning the limb and preserving the integrity of the knee bones. 

To optimize the clinical outcomes, the first step is an accurate and personalized preoperative planning.
