The effect of closed- and open-wedge high tibial osteotomy on tibial slope: A RETROSPECTIVE RADIOLOGICAL REVIEW OF 120 CASES

Radiographs of 110 patiente who had undergone 120 high tibial osteotomies (60 closedwedge, 60 open-wedge) were assessed for posterior tibial slope before and after operation, and before removal of the hardware. In the closed-wedge group the mean slope was 5.7° (SD 3.8) before and 2.4° (so 3.9) immediately after operation, and 2.4° (SD 3.4) before removal of the hardware. In the open-wedge group, these values were 5.0° (SD 3.7), 7.7° (SD 4.3) and 8.1° (so 3.9) respectively, when stabilised with a non-locking plate, and 7.7° (SD 3.5), 9.4° (SD 4.1) and 9.1° (SD 3.8), when stabilised with a locking plate. The reduction in slope (-2.7° (SD 4.1)) in the closed-wedge group and the ...
