Purpose: To compare of the results between anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction alone and combined with high tibial osteotomy for ACL ruptured knees with varus alignment. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 8 cases of ACL reconstruction combined with high tibial osteotomy (Group I) and 13 cases of ACL reconstruction alone (Group II) for varus angulated ACL ruptured knees (from March 2005 to February 2007). Mean age were 34.1 years (range: 20-53) in Group I, 34.9 years (range: 21-50) in Group II. Average follow up period were 22.6 months (range: 12-35) in Group I, 20 months (range: 13-33) in Group II. We analyzed clinical and radiological results. Results: There were no significant differences in clinical and radiologic results between two groups for IKDC scores, Lysholm knee scores, Lachman test, pivot shift test, KT-2000 arthrometer, and anterior drawer stress radiographs. Tegner activity scales and Cincinnati knee ligament rating scales were 4.9, 57.9 in Group I, and 5.6, 72.9 in Group II. Group I was statistically lower than Group II for Tegner activity scales and Cincinnati knee ligament rating scales (p<0.05). Conclusion: There were no significant differences in daily living between ACL reconstruction alone and combined with high tibial ostetomy for varus angulated ACL ruptured knees. However, ACL reconstruction combined with high tibial osteotomy could limit sport activity ability.
