The purpose of the present study was to compare bilateral external knee moments during
gait in patients with concomitant medial compartment knee OA, varus alignment and chronic
anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) deficiency who underwent either medial opening‐wedge
high tibial osteotomy alone (HTO) or simultaneous HTO and ACL reconstruction (HTO‐
ACLR). Fifty‐two patients (26 matched pairs) completed 3D gait analysis preoperatively and
at a minimum 5 years postoperatively. Patients were matched for preoperative age, sex …

Purpose: Simultaneous anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction and high tibial
osteotomy (HTO) is a combined surgical procedure intended to improve kinematics and
kinetics in the unstable knee with varus malalignment and medial compartment knee OA.
The primary objective of this study was to compare three-dimensional (3D) gait
biomechanics bilaterally between two groups of patients with concomitant ACL-deficiency,
varus malalignment and medial compartment knee OA. One group received simultaneous …
