High tibial osteotomy (HTO), when paired with ACL reconstruction, can restore joint stability and alignment. This combined approach is gaining traction for improving functional outcomes in younger, active patients with varus knees.</p> <p><bold>AIM: </bold>To evaluate the functional outcomes of combined ACL reconstruction with HTO in genu varum patients with ACL-deficient knees.</p> <p><bold>METHODS: </bold>This prospective case study included 20 males aged &lt; 40 years with anterior knee instability secondary to ACL injury. Patients were evaluated clinically and radiologically to ensure they had a deficient ACL with varus deformity and lateral thrust and to diagnose associated meniscal injuries. Patients had open wedge HTO using the trans-tuberosity approaches and arthroscopic ACL reconstruction with the repair of the concomitant injuries. Postoperative (PO) X-rays were obtained and patients were placed in a hinged knee brace allowing full extension and flexion up to 60° for 2 weeks and up to 90° for 4 weeks. At 6 weeks PO, the brace was removed and a full range of motion was allowed.</p> <p><bold>RESULTS:</bold> The average operative time and duration till bone union were 122 minutes and 2.79 months, respectively. Four patients developed PO complications, but no re-intervention was required. At 6-month PO, Lysholm scoring defined excellent and good grading in 55% and 45% of patients, respectively. Objective tests showed significant improvement in comparison to preoperative scoring. Further, the PO degree of varus and the posterior tibial slope (PTS) were significantly improved.</p> <p><bold>CONCLUSION:</bold><bold> </bold>The procedure of single-stage ACL reconstruction with HTO in ACL-deficient varus knees is a promising management policy for ACL injury in genu varum knee. The procedure is safe, with few complications and a short length of hospital stay, and with satisfactory outcomes.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p><bold>Обоснование. </bold>Повреждения передней крестообразной связки (ПКС) в сочетании с деформацией genu varum представляют собой особую клиническую проблему, поскольку изолированная реконструкция связки может не устранять лежащее в их основе нарушение оси конечности. Высокая тибиальная остеотомия (ВТО) в сочетании с реконструкцией ПКС позволяет восстановить стабильность сустава и правильное осевое выравнивание. Данный комбинированный подход всё шире применяется для улучшения функциональных результатов у молодых активных пациентов с варусной деформацией коленного сустава.</p> <p><bold>Цель. </bold>Оценить функциональные результаты сочетанной реконструкции ПКС и ВТО у пациентов с genu varum и недостаточностью ПКС коленного сустава.</p> <p><bold>Методы. </bold>В это проспективное клиническое исследование были включены 20 мужчин в возрасте до 40 лет с передней нестабильностью коленного сустава, обусловленной повреждением ПКС. Пациентам проводили клиническое и рентгенологическое обследование для подтверждения недостаточности ПКС, наличия варусной деформации и латерального толчка, а также для диагностики сопутствующих повреждений менисков. Всем пациентам выполняли открывающуюся клиновидную ВТО трансподнадколенниковым доступом и артроскопическую реконструкцию ПКС с одновременной коррекцией сопутствующих повреждений. В послеоперационном периоде выполняли рентгенографию; пациентам назначали шарнирный ортез на коленный сустав, обеспечивавший полное разгибание и сгибание до 60° в течение 2 недель и до 90° в течение 4 недель. Через 6 недель после операции ортез снимали и разрешали полный объём движений.</p> <p><bold>Результаты.</bold> Средняя продолжительность операции и среднее время до консолидации кости составили 122 минуты и 2,79 месяца соответственно. У 4 пациентов развились послеоперационные осложнения, однако повторных вмешательств не потребовалось. Через 6 месяцев после операции по шкале Lysholm отличные и хорошие результаты были отмечены у 55 и 45% пациентов соответственно. По данным объективных тестов выявлено значимое улучшение по сравнению с дооперационными показателями. Кроме того, после операции статистически значимо уменьшились степень варусной деформации и угол заднего наклона плато большеберцовой кости.</p> <p><bold>Заключение. </bold>Одномоментная реконструкция ПКС в сочетании с ВТО при варусной деформации коленного сустава и недостаточности ПКС является перспективной тактикой лечения повреждений ПКС у пациентов с genu varum. Данная процедура безопасна, сопровождается небольшим числом осложнений, короткой продолжительностью госпитализации и обеспечивает удовлетворительные результаты.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction</kwd><kwd>high tibial osteotomy</kwd><kwd>posterior tibial slope</kwd><kwd>anterior knee instability</kwd><kwd>varus deformity</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>реконструкция передней крестообразной связки</kwd><kwd>высокая тибиальная остеотомия</kwd><kwd>задний наклон плато большеберцовой кости</kwd><kwd>передняя нестабильность коленного сустава</kwd><kwd>варусная деформация</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Angachekar D, Archik S, Narvekar A, Kulkarni A, Patel S.
