Abstract:Background
This study aimed to estimate the ratio of the anterior and posterior gaps before surgery that can minimize the posterior tibial slope (PTS) change through preoperative radiography, and to confirm whether the use of the block helps maintain the PTS during open wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO).
Methods
Patients who underwent OWHTO between 2015 and 2018 were included. To measure optimal anterior gap (AG) and posterior gap (PG) ratio, hin… Show more
