Sagittal-plane slope-reducing high tibial
osteotomy (HTO) can reduce the risk of anterior cruciate ligament
(ACL) injury in knees with a high posterior tibial slope. The
biomechanical effect of slope-reducing HTO on tibiofemoral
kinematics and force carried by the ACL remains less well
understood.
In conclusion, slope-reducing HTO decreased
ACL force linearly by reducing ATT with compression and also by
decreasing coupled ITR with combined compression and valgus.
