Normo-or slightly overcorrection show better results after medial closing wedge high tibial osteotomy

ConclusionFunctional results and revision-free survival after MCWHTO are satisfactory when the deformity is located in the proximal tibia. The joint line obliquity is not significantly altered with small tibial correction and, obtaining an overall neutral or slightly varus alignment under the conditions of this study allowed an improvement in the postoperative clinical scores. The literature is still inconclusive on the ideal alignment for valgus deformities and larger series are needed to draw definitive conclusions.Level of evidenceIV, case series.
