Open‐wedge high tibial osteotomy with a slight valgus correction from neutral limb alignment achieves clinical improvements comparable with those for knees with varus deformity

Open‐wedge high tibial osteotomy with a slight valgus correction from neutral limb alignment achieves clinical improvements comparable with those for knees with varus deformity

Abstract Purpose The effect of open‐wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) on the preoperative neutral alignment of the knee is unknown. The purpose of this study was to clarify the clinical outcome of OWHTO with neutral alignment, defined as within 4 degrees of varus. Methods This retrospective study...
