Hybrid Lateral Closed-Wedge High Tibial Osteotomy Showed Similar Accuracy in Angular Correction and Reduction of Posterior Tibial Slope Compared to Opening-Wedge High Tibial Osteotomy: A Correction Angle Matched Cohort Study
“…Moreover, an additional 1–2° correction angle may increase the joint line obliquity to fall beyond the acceptable range and have a detrimental effect on the longer-term results of HBHTO. Considering the reported mean error rate of 6% when applying the planned correction angle to real surgical corrections [ 7 ], care should be taken to avoid overcorrection in HBHTO [ 10 ], especially in large angular corrections.…”

“…Lateral cortical step-off, which is disadvantageous for optimizing firm fixation and early weight bearing in CWHTO [ 1 ], could be minimized by an obliquely oriented osteotomy line in HBHTO. Moreover, large angular correction could be performed in HBHTO with less concern regarding the amount of bone loss and tibia length change owing to the laterally located hinge point relative to the conventional CWHTO and fewer concerns regarding hinge fracture powered by the completely separating hinge point, which is quite different from both OWHTO and CWHTO [ 7 ]. Faster osteotomy site union is the foremost advantage of HBHTO over OWHTO [ 8 ].…”
Hybrid lateral closed-wedge high tibial osteotomy (HBHTO) carries certain advantages over medial open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO). We investigated the potential difference in the required correction angle between HBHTO and OWHTO to achieve an equal amount of whole lower-extremity alignment correction, retrospectively analyzing the preoperative plain radiographic images of 100 patients. The medial proximal tibial angle (MPTA), joint line convergence angle (JLCA), mechanical lateral distal femoral angle (mLDFA), hip–knee–ankle axis (HKA), length of the tibia, width of the tibial plateau, length of the lower limb (leg length), and location of the center of deformity (CD) were measured. Differences in the required correction angle at the hinge point between the two techniques (CAD) were compared, and correlation analysis was performed to reveal the influential factors. The mean difference in CAD between HBHTO and OWHTO was 0.78 ± 0.22 (0.4~1.5)°, and mean WBL position change per correction angle was 3.9 ± 0.3 (3.0~4.6)% in HBHTO and 4.1 ± 0.3 (3.1~4.7)% in OWHTO. Correlation analysis revealed a strong positive correlation between CAD and HKA. mLDFA, JLCA, MPTA, leg length, OWCD, HBCD, and HCD were also significantly correlated with CAD. HBHTO required a 5.6% larger correction angle at the hinge point to achieve the same amount of alignment correction as OWHTO.
