Anterior Slope–Modifying Osteotomies Alter the Length Change Behavior of the Superficial Medial Collateral Ligament: A Biomechanical Study
Surgeons should be aware that anterior tibial slope-modifying osteotomies affect the biomechanics of the sMCL. After an extensive ACWHTO, patients may develop a medial or anteromedial instability, while an AOWHTO may overconstrain the medial compartment.
