Influence of Increased Joint Line Obliquity on Survivorship After Lateral Closing-Wedge High Tibial Osteotomy
Increased postoperative KJLO (medial proximal tibial angle ≥95°) had no significant influence on the survivorship of lateral closing-wedge HTO. Men demonstrated superior survival outcomes compared with women, and it was important to achieve a targeted postoperative alignment (HKA 2°-6° of valgus) to ensure favorable HTO survivorship.
