The magnitude of high tibial osteotomy (HTO) in the frontal plane has no significant effect (p=.739) on the postsurgical posterior tibial slope in the sagittal plane. "In recent years there has been a renewed interest in HTOs. The development of new instruments and better fixation devices has significantly simplified the surgical procedure. This technique is frequently used to correct alignment in the frontal plane. However, changes in the sagittal plane following closed wedge HTO have not been appropriately investigated.
