ABSTRACT

Objective: to prove the usefulness of osteotomy for genu varum, characterize some biomedical and demographic variables and show the results.
Methods: a descriptive retrospective study was performed in The Research Centre for Healthy Ageing and Longevity in 121 diagnosed patients who were operated on genu varum from January 2006 to December 2009. The patients underwent tibial valgus osteotomy. The sample was composed of 84 patients (91 knees) that fulfilled the assumed criteria.
Results: the most frequent age group was women 70-79 years old. Degrees III and IV according to Albach et al classification predominated in the study. There were few complications and the 82 % of the results were good.
Conclusion: improvement in pain relief and at least 90 degrees of flexion occurs at 2-year follow-up in elderly patients that undergo surgery after a diagnosis of genu varum what represents a high figure of good results.
