High tibial osteotomy is commonly used for patients with osteoarthritis that is isolated to a single compartment (unicompartmental osteoarthritis). It is also performed for treating mechanical axis malalignment, osteochondritis dissecans, posterolateral instability, and chondral resurfacing.

Knee osteotomy is used when a patient has early-stage osteoarthritis that has damaged just one side of the knee joint.
