Abstract
- Abstract Objective Accurate correction is a prerequisite for the favorable outcomes of open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO). However, previous studies have reported disappointing results regarding correction accuracy despite the use of intra-operative navigation, which implies that a certain factor other than bony components is involved in the inaccurate correction (mainly overcorrection). The joint-line convergence angle (JLCA) can represent soft tissue effects in OWHTO. This study tried to determine whether the postoperative change in the JLCA (∆JLCA) led to inaccurate correction. Methods Medical records of 78 OWHTO patients from 2005 to 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. The hip–knee–ankle angle (HKA) was measured with a positive value indicating varus alignment. Inaccurate correction was defined as postoperative HKA
