Osteoarthrosis of knee is the most important and common reason for the disability in the elderly population. The major reasons for disability are pain and limitation of movements of the knee. Total knee replacement surgery, which aims to decrease the pain, improvement in joint function and movement, is the main surgical modality to treat this condition.in population minimal invasive fibular osteotomy is the new alternative in the young patients with arthritis of medial compartment. From October 2019 to December 2021, 50 patients who underwent minimal invasive fibular osteotomy at our institute were followed prospectively (n = 37; age range, 48-72 years; 28 females, 22 male) with follow-up at 6 weeks, 3months, 6months, 9months, 12months, and 24months post-operatively. Out of 50 patients who underwent minimal invasive fibular osteotomy, medial pain relief was observed in 45 patients with in one- or two-days post operatively remaining 5 had no change in pain. Results revealed elevation in mean visual analog score (from 5.76+/0.60 to 2.08+/-0.70) and an improvement in Mean medial joint space (1.30+/-0.33 to 4.50+/0.29) and improvement in mean functional knee score (54.24 to 74.56). Postoperative complications like paresthesias of foot in dorsum of foot in 2 patients, which recovered by 6 to 12 weeks, EHL weakness in 2 patients. Thus, we conclude that minimal invasive fibular Osteotomy is a simple, safe and pocket friendly, day care procedure that doesn’t require insertion of implants.
