A simple formula to control posterior tibial slope during proximal tibial osteotomies

This study determined that the key variables affecting posterior tibial slope during high tibial osteotomy are the osteotomy opening angle and the hinge axis orientation. The derived formula provides a simple means of determining the change in posterior tibial slope resulting from a particular surgical approach.
