Abstract
Although the medial joint space width (MJSW) is commonly used for radiographic evaluation of knee osteoarthritis, the changes in knee joint space width (JSW) during weight bearing after medial opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO) remain unclear. This study aimed to depict how medial and lateral JSWs and convergence angles change gradually after MOWHTO.
Subjects
Convergence angle; Joint line; Mechanical femoral-tibial angle; Medial joint space width; Medial opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy; Medial to lateral joint space width ratio
