Analysis of Knee Joint Line Obliquity after High Tibial Osteotomy [PDF]
The aim of this study was to evaluate which lower extremity alignment (knee and ankle joint) parameters affect knee joint line obliquity (KJLO) in the coronal plane after open wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO). Overall, 69 knees of patients that underwent OWHTO were evaluated using radiographs obtained preoperatively and from 6 weeks to 3 months ...

An increase in the medial proximal tibial angle of 95° or greater after opening wedge high tibial osteotomy does not necessarily lead to excessive knee joint line obliquity of 5° or greater [PDF]
Introduction: The relationship between medial proximal tibial angle (MPTA) overcorrection and knee joint line obliquity (KJLO) after opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) remains controversial.

Assessing joint line obliquity in valgus-producing high tibial osteotomy: A scoping review of the literature. [PDF]
The variance in knee joint line obliquity (KJLO) measurement methods and radiographic techniques may contribute to the controversy on clinical consequences of KJLO after high tibial osteotomy (HTO).To summarize currently used KJLO measurement methods, including their measurement reliability, and the radiographic techniques used in valgus-producing HTO ...

Improved clinical outcomes when maintaining a neutral joint line obliquity at high tibial osteotomy and subsequent total knee arthroplasty [PDF]
Purpose The primary aim was to study the impact of joint line obliquity (JLO) on clinical outcomes and survivorship in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) after a previous high tibial osteotomy (HTO).

Influence of Increased Joint Line Obliquity on Survivorship After Lateral Closing-Wedge High Tibial Osteotomy. [PDF]
Background: Although high tibial osteotomy (HTO) has emerged as a powerful intervention for treating symptomatic medial osteoarthritis and varus malalignment, it can result in an increase in knee joint line obliquity (KJLO) in the frontal plane.

Better restoration of joint line obliquity in tibia first restricted kinematic alignment versus mechanical alignment TKA. [PDF]
Abstract Introduction In total knee arthroplasty (TKA), suboptimal restoration of joint line obliquity (JLO) and joint line height (JLH) may lead to diminished implant longevity, increased risk of complications, and reduced patient reported outcomes.
