INTRODUCTION: In open-wedge high-tibial-osteotomy (OWHTO), most surgeons use a preoperative planning software and realise that they should match the intraoperative alignment correction with the preoperative plan. We aimed to determine whether there is a difference in osteotomy gap height when starting the OWHTO either 3 or 4 cm distal to the joint line. This should help to clarify whether the osteotomy starting point must exactly match the preoperative planning.
METHODS: 25 patients with constitutional varus alignment were planned for OWHTO. Long-leg-standing-radiographs and mediCAD-software were used. Osteotomy was planned to a neutral Hip-Knee-Ankle angle (HKA) of 0°. The osteotomy-starting-point was either 3 or 4 cm distal to the medial joint line. The following angles were compared: mechanical medial proximal tibial angle (mMPTA), mechanical lateral distal femoral angle (mLDFA), joint line conversion angle (JCA), mechanical Tibio-Femoral angle (mTFA) or Hip Knee Ankle (HKA) angle.
RESULTS: 25 Patients (18 males, 7 females) had a mean age of 62 ± 16.6 years and showed a varus-aligned leg-axis. The HKA was - 5.96 ± 3.02° with a mMPTA of 82.22 ± 1.14°. After osteotomy-planning to a HKA of 0°, the mMPTA was 88.94 ± 3.01°. With a mean wedge height of 8.08 mm when locating the osteotomy 3 cm and a mean wedge height of 8.05 mm when locating the osteotomy 4 cm distal to the joint-line, there was no statistically significant difference (p = 0.7).
CONCLUSION: When performing an OWHTO aiming towards the tip of the fibula, the osteotomy starting point does not need to exactly match the planned starting-location of the osteotomy. A starting-point 1 cm more distal or proximal than previously determined through the digital planning does not alter the size of the osteotomy gap needed to produce the desired amount of correction.
