It is difficult to evaluate the mechanical axis of the lower extremity or tibia using a single fluoroscopic image. This study aimed to discuss the use of focal proximal fibular angle (FPFA), which can be assessed by a single fluoroscopic image, as an intraoperative indicator.enFibula; High tibial osteotomy; Medial proximal tibial angle; OsteoarthritisFocal proximal fibular angle: A potential indicator of the tibial mechanical axis in opening-wedge high tibial osteotomyjournal article10.1016/j.knee.2021.07.008343652272-s2.0-85111932478WOS:000702862000004https://scholars.lib.ntu.edu.tw/handle/123456789/577820
