Appropriate patient selection based on joint line convergence angle minimizes the difference between the mechanical axis in the standing and supine positions after open-wedge high tibial osteotomy and distal tuberosity osteotomy
Minimal differences were observed between the Δ%MA after HTO and DTO among patients with preoperative JLCAst of < 6° and ΔJLCA and of < 3°, respectively. Appropriate surgical indications could minimize this difference.
