  • 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.
