Medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO) is a widely used surgical treatment
option for medial compartmental osteoarthritis with varus deformity. It is important that proper …

Purpose This paper is a review of the biomechanical principles that support limb
realignment surgery via osteotomy around the knee, principally high (proximal) tibial …

Background: No well-controlled studies have compared the long-term outcome of anterior
cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with hamstring tendon autograft between …

Background: Previous work has reported that increased tibial slope is directly correlated with
increased anterior tibial translation, possibly predisposing patients to higher rates of anterior …

Background: An injury to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a multifactorial event
influenced by intrinsic and extrinsic risk factors. Recently, the geometry of the proximal tibia …

Background: The geometry of the tibial plateau is complex and asymmetric. Previous
research has characterized subject-to-subject differences in the tibial plateau geometry in …

Background The geometry of the tibial plateau has been largely ignored as a source of
possible risk factors for anterior cruciate ligament injury. Discovering the anterior cruciate …

Background: Both an elevated posterior tibial slope (PTS) and high-grade anterior knee
laxity are often present in patients who undergo revision anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) …

Background: The lateral tibial posterior slope (LTPS) has been reported in multiple studies
to correlate with an increased risk for native anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tearing. To …

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine whether an increased posterior-inferior
tibial slope (PITS) is associated with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture and whether …
