Does postoperative quantitative bone scintigraphy reflect outcomes following medial open-wedge high tibial osteotomy?

<h4>Purpose</h4>The present study evaluated changes in bone tracer uptake (BTU) after medial open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO) and determined whether postoperative BTU correlates with clinical symptoms, radiologic parameters, or cartilage regeneration following MOWHTO.<h4>M...
