Abstract	Background Impaired knee stability is observed in patients with medial compartment knee osteoarthritis (OA) and varus malalignment. Although high tibial osteotomy (HTO) is widely used to treat OA-related knee varus deformity, its long-term influence on balance control in OA patients is poorly reported. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of HTO on balance control and assess its biological and functional significance. Methods Thirty-two patients with medial compartment knee OA as well as varus deformity who were scheduled for HTO underwent static posturographic tests one month pre- and three months as well as one year postoperatively, respectively, along with forty matched control subjects. Radiographic and clinical evaluations were synchronously carried out on patients pre- and postoperatively. Results Decreased postural sway was observed in patients one year after HTO. When compared to the control subjects, more postural sway was found in patients one month pre- and three months postoperatively. No difference was observed between the patients and control subjects one year postoperatively. The alignment and joint function of the affected knees significantly improved after HTO. Conclusions This study revealed that HTO improves balance control in patients with knee OA and varus deformity. Correct alignment and improved joint function enhance the likelihood of normal postural stability. Hence, this intervention allows the knee joint to recover its corrective compensatory role in postural regulation and should be taken into account for managing knee OA patients.
