TY  - JOUR
AB  - High  tibial  osteotomy  (HTO)  is  a  relatively  conservative surgical  option  in  the  management  of  medial  knee  pain. Thus far, the outcomes have been variable, and apparently worse  than  the  arthroplasty  alternatives  when  judged using conventional metrics, owing in large part to uncer-tainty  around  the  extent  of  the  correction  planned  and achieved.„This  review  paper  introduces  the  concept  of  detailed  3D planning of the procedure, and describes the 3D printing technology that enables the plan to be performed.„The different ways that the osteotomy can be undertaken, and the varying guide designs that enable accurate regis-tration are discussed and described. The system accuracy is reported.„In  keeping  with  other  assistive  technologies,  3D  printing enables the surgeon to achieve a preoperative plan with a degree of accuracy that is not possible using conventional instruments. With the advent of low dose CT, it has been possible  to  confirm  that  the  procedure  has  been  under-taken accurately too.„HTO is the ‘ultimate’ personal intervention: the amount of correction  needed  for  optimal  offloading  is  not  yet  com-pletely understood.„For  the  athletic  person  with  early  medial  joint  line  over-load who still runs and enjoys life, HTO using 3D printing is  an  attractive  option.  The  clinical  effectiveness  remains unproven.
