Both high tibial valgus osteotomy (HTO) and unicompartmental medial knee arthroplasty (UKA) are established methods for the treatment for moderate stages of OA. This is the first global meta-analysis to compare the long-term effects of both methods regarding survival, outcomes and complications of total arthroplasty. ⋯ II.

A systematic review was performed to assess reamed and unreamed tibial nailing. Only prospective, randomised studies comparing reamed and unreamed tibial nailing in adults were included. A literature search found 1200 possible articles. ⋯ There was an increased non-union rate when the tibia was not reamed (p = 0.02). Screw breakage was more common in the unreamed group (p<0.0001). This study could find little difference in the incidence of other complications following reamed or unreamed tibial nailing.
