Increased preoperative medial and lateral laxity is a predictor of overcorrection in open wedge high tibial osteotomy

ConclusionsThe magnitude of both medial and lateral coronal soft tissue laxity was a predictor of overcorrection from soft tissue factors after OWHTO. Overcorrection was more likely to occur in cases with both ≥ 4° JLCA and ≥ 1.5° valgus stress angle.Level of evidenceIII.
