Change of joint-line convergence angle should be considered for accurate alignment correction in high tibial osteotomy

Abstract Background The alignment correction after high tibial osteotomy (HTO) is made both by bony correction and soft-tissue correction around the knee. Change of the joint-line convergence angle (JLCA) represents the soft-tissue correction after HTO, which is the angle made by a tangential line b...
