Difference in the early postoperative change of the joint line convergence angle between opening wedge and closed wedge high tibial osteotomies

Difference in the early postoperative change of the joint line convergence angle between opening wedge and closed wedge high tibial osteotomies

Abstract Background The purpose of this study was to investigate the correction error associated with soft tissue balance in high tibial osteotomy (HTO) and the difference between opening wedge HTO (OWHTO) and closed wedge HTO (CWHTO). Methods A total of 170 knees of 130 patients (85 knees of 68 pat...
