In a prospective study, 32 knees in 32 patients were randomized to either a cylinder plaster cast (17 knees) or hinged cast-brace (15 knees) after high tibial osteotomy for medial gonarthrosis. At 6 weeks, 3 months, and still 1 year after surgery, the range of motion was better in the cast-brace group. There was no difference in the other clinical results at 3 months and at 1 year after surgery, nor in changes of osseous correction or in the final knee alignment. All the patients in the cast-brace group were satisfied with early motion.Downloads
