Between 1988 and 1992, the method, a high tibial osteotomy to correct the genu varum combined with autogenous periosteal or perichondrial graft to deal with the chondromalacia patella was used. Thirty-two patients (51 knees) were treated by this method and the patients were followed up for an average of 5.1 years. The excellent and good results were obtained in 90.2%.
