Fig. 3

A schematic comparison between CWHTO and OWHTO in the position of the mechanical tibial axis including the centre of the ankle joint after osteotomies with the same bony correction angle. Illustrations show preoperative status (a), CWHTO (b), OWHTO (c), and an overlay of the two procedures (d). The mechanical axis passes more medially after CWHTO than after OWHTO (e). The centre of the ankle is positioned more medially and proximally after CWHTO (dot) than after OWHTO (asterisk) (f)
