Medial open-wedge high tibial osteotomy alters sagittal tibial tubercle-trochlear groove distance

Medial open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO) is widely used to treat varus knee osteoarthritis, but its impact on patellofemoral biomechanics remains incompletely understood. In particular, the sagittal tibial tubercle-trochlear groove (sTT-TG) distance, a novel parameter linked to patellofemora...

Description
Summary:Medial open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO) is widely used to treat varus knee osteoarthritis, but its impact on patellofemoral biomechanics remains incompletely understood. In particular, the sagittal tibial tubercle-trochlear groove (sTT-TG) distance, a novel parameter linked to patellofemoral contact pressure, has not been evaluated in this context. This study aimed to assess changes in sTT-TG following MOWHTO and identify anatomical predictors of its postoperative magnitude.
