Axial But Not Sagittal Hinge Axis Affects Posterior Tibial Slope in Medial Open-wedge High Tibial Osteotomy: A Three-dimensional Surgical Simulation Study

The purpose of this three-dimensional (3D) surgical simulation study was to investigate the effects of axial and sagittal hinge axes (hinge axes in the axial and sagittal planes) on medial and lateral posterior tibial slope (PTS) in medial open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO), and evaluate the quantitative relationship between hinge axis and PTS change.
