Influence of axial limb rotation on radiographic lower limb alignment: a systematic review

Marc-Daniel Ahrend et al.

Summary: Limb malrotation can significantly impact alignment measurements on long-leg radiographs, especially in knees with extension deficit. The influence of rotation on mechanical alignment is greater when accompanied by knee flexion. Studies show that external rotation leads to less valgus and more varus, while internal rotation leads to more valgus and less varus.

Overweight patients benefit from high tibial osteotomy to the same extent as patients with normal weights but show inferior mid-term results

Moritz Herbst et al.

Summary: This prospective study analyzed the impact of obesity on the outcomes of open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (HTO) 6 years post-surgery. The study found that overweight patients may benefit from HTO to the same extent as normal weight patients in terms of clinical outcomes and health-related quality of life, but they have inferior preoperative and mid-term results compared to normal weight patients.

Dislocated hinge fractures are associated with malunion after lateral closing wedge distal femoral osteotomy

Marco-Christopher Rupp et al.

Summary: Medial cortical hinge fractures after LCW-DFO are a common finding, with an increased risk expected with higher osteotomy wedge height and a hinge position closer to the medial cortex. Dislocation of a medial hinge fracture > 2 mm is associated with malunion and should be avoided.

Increased patellar bone tracer uptake in preoperative SPECT/CT before medial opening high tibial osteotomy correlates with inferior clinical outcome

B. L. Schelker et al.

Summary: This study suggests that preoperative SPECT/CT scans can help surgeons identify potential risk factors for inferior clinical outcomes in patients undergoing medial opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO), with elevated BTU in the patellar region being a potential risk factor for postoperative pain and stiffness. Despite the limited number of participants, the study highlights the importance of preoperative SPECT in modern knee surgery to analyze loading patterns on different compartments of the knee.

How to achieve an optimal alignment in medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy?

Byoung Youl Kang et al.

Summary: Medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO) is a commonly used surgical method for medial compartmental osteoarthritis with varus deformity, with the goal of achieving proper lower limb alignment. While there is no consensus on the optimal alignment in MOWHTO, most studies suggest that achieving valgus alignment is necessary. To prevent undercorrection and overcorrection, precise placement of the weight-bearing line within the target range is crucial, along with consideration of other factors such as joint line obliquity and ligament balancing.

The effect of the sagittal plane osteotomy inclination on the posterior tibial slope in medial open wedge HTO: experimental study with a square column model

Sang Won Moon et al.

Summary: In this study using a square column model, it was found that the sagittal-plane osteotomy inclination (SPOI) affects changes in the posterior tibial slope (PTS), and an SPOI parallel to the PTS causes no change in the PTS after medial open-wedge HTO.

Reliability of Preoperative Planning Method That Considers Latent Medial Joint Laxity in Medial Open-Wedge Proximal Tibial Osteotomy

Dong Jin Ryu et al.

Summary: Soft tissue laxity around the knee joint is a crucial factor affecting correction error during medial open-wedge proximal tibial osteotomy. The study aimed to quantify medial laxity and develop a preoperative planning method that considers medial laxity. Results showed that a preoperative planning method considering medial laxity reduced the risk of overcorrection compared to the traditional method.

Effect of the Osteotomy Inclination Angle in the Sagittal Plane on the Posterior Tibial Slope of the Tibiofemoral Joint in Medial Open-Wedge High Tibial Osteotomy: Three-Dimensional Computed Tomography Analysis

Jai Hyun Chung et al.

Summary: This study found that the posterior tibial slope changes after MOWHTO depending on the sagittal osteotomy inclination angle, with an increase seen when the osteotomy line is inclined anteriorly and a decrease when inclined posteriorly. The postoperative posterior tibial slope was significantly affected by the osteotomy inclination angle, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the sagittal osteotomy line parallel to the medial joint line during MOWHTO to prevent inadvertent changes in posterior tibial slope.
