ABSTRACT
The present narrative review provides a summary of postoperative therapy modalities and their effectiveness following osteotomies around the knee. The topics that are discussed in the scientific discourse include support of cartilage cell regeneration, pain management, drainage insertion, tourniquet use, pharmacological and mechanical thromboembolism prophylaxis, weight-bearing protocols and bone consolidation. There is evidence for the use of pharmacological thromboembolism prophylaxis and weight-bearing protocols. A standardized postoperative treatment concept following osteotomies around the knee cannot be derived due to lack of evidence for the other topics in current literature.
