2. Fig 1
Preoperative templating for high tibial osteotomy. (A) The mechanical axis from the center of the femoral head to the center of the tibial plafond is drawn. (B) A line from the center of the femoral head (a˙) is extended through the correction point, which is at 62.5% of the tibial plateau width. Another line (ḃ) is drawn from the center of the tibial plafond through the correction point. (C) The image is enlarged. (D) The proposed osteotomy is drawn (line ė). (E) This line is then transposed onto line ḃ and termed line ë. (F) A perpendicular line from line ë is drawn until it intersects line a˙. This distance (l) is the required osteotomy opening size. In this case it measures 12.5 mm.

9. Fig 8
Screenshot from navigation software. The coronal-plane angular deformity has been corrected, but slope has been increased (because flexion has increased). The Osteotome Wedge Trial is inserted more posteriorly to avoid slope correction. (A, anterior; L, lateral; M, medial; Max, maximum; Min, minimum; P, posterior.)
