CONTROLLED TRIAL OF DOUBLE OSTEOTOMY FOR RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS*

PRELIMINARY REPORT

E. C. HUSKISSON{dagger} and HUGH PHILLIPS{ddagger}

St. Bartholomew's Hospital London

A controlled trial was used to compare double osteotomy and immobilization in plaster for rheumatoid arthritis affecting the knee. The operation was superior in relieving pain and correcting valgus deformity; it was at least as effective in correcting flexion deformity.

*Based on a paper read at the Annual Meeting of the British Association for Rheumatology and Rehabilitation, London, March 1973.
