Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO) shifts the mechanical axis laterally to relieve medial knee stress. The CPAK classification, which categorizes knee alignment into nine phenotypes, has been scarcely applied in studies involving MOWHTO. The aim of this study is to explore the effect of CPAK phenotypes on cartilage regeneration and functional outcome after MOWHTO. METHODS: This was...
