Abstract

Case: We report a patient with persisting knee pain after Medial Open Wedge High Tibial Osteotomy (MOWHTO) caused by the overcorrection in the frontal plane and an unintentional increase of posterior tibial slope postoperatively. This case shows how to re-correct this two-dimensional deformity by a re-corrective HTO with varization and slope reduction. Conclusion: This case report emphasizes the clinical relevance of unintentional increase of tibial slope combined with valgus overcorrection after MOWHTO and how it can be re-recorrected. Hence, each surgeon must know the importance of careful determination of postoperative and intraoperative alignment in the frontal and sagittal plane when performing HTO.
