Table 3 Postoperative radiographic and computed tomography data. Presented as mean (confidence intervals) or number (%)

From: Should sagittal osteotomy line be parallel to tibial posterior slope in high tibial osteotomy?

Variable

Mean (95% confidence intervals)

Change in TPS (°)

0.9 (0.4 to 1.3)

Coronal osteotomy plane angle (°)

16.6 (15.5 to 17.7)

Sagittal osteotomy plane angle (°)

6.2 (4.4 to 8.1)

Positive / negative value (knees)

64 (78%) / 18 (22%)

Coronal opening gap angle (°)

13.7 (13.0 to 14.5)

Sagittal opening gap angle (°)

−0.7 (−1.4 to 0)

Positive / negative value (Knees)

40 (49%) / 42 (51%)

  1. Sagittal osteotomy plane angle with an anterior-widening proximal tibial fragment is showed as a positive value
  2. Sagittal opening gap angle with an anterior-opening gap is showed as a positive value
  3. TPS tibial posterior slope
