| Abstract: |
Objective: Medial opening‐wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO) is a surgical procedure to treat medial compartment osteoarthritis in the knee with varus deformity. However, factors such as patellar height (PH) and the sagittal plane's posterior tibial slope angle (PTSA) are potentially overlooked. This study investigated the impact of alignment correction angle guided by computer‐designed personalized surgical guide plate (PSGP) in MOWHTO on PH and PTSA, offering insights for enhancing surgical techniques. Methods: This retrospective study included patients who underwent 3D‐printed PSGP‐assisted MOWHTO at our institution from March to September 2022. The paired t‐tests assessed differences in all preoperative and postoperative measurement parameters. Multivariate linear regression analysis examined correlations between PTSA, CDI (Caton–Deschamps Index), and the alignment correction magnitude. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis determined the threshold of the correction angle, calculating sensitivity, specificity, and area under the curve. Results: A total of 107 patients were included in our study. The CDI changed from a preoperative mean of 0.97 ± 0.13 (range 0.70–1.34) to a postoperative mean of 0.82 ± 0.13 (range 0.55–1.20). PTSA changed from a preoperative mean of 8.54 ± 2.67 (range 2.19–17.55) to a postoperative mean of 10.54 ± 3.05 (range 4.48–18.05). The t‐test revealed statistically significant changes in both values (p < 0.05). A significant alteration in patellar height occurred when the correction angle exceeded 9.39°. Moreover, this paper illustrates a negative correlation between CDI change and the correction angle and preoperative PTSA. Holding other factors constant, each 1‐degree increase in the correction angle led to a 0.017 decrease in postoperative CDI, and each 1‐degree increase in preoperative PTSA resulted in a 0.008 decrease in postoperative CDI. PTSA change was positively correlated only with the correction angle; for each 1‐degree increase in the opening angle, postoperative PTS increased by 0.188, with other factors constant. Conclusion: This study highlights the effectiveness and precision of PSGP‐assisted MOWHTO, focusing on the impact of alignment correction on PH and PTSA. These findings support the optimization of PSGP technology, which offers simpler, faster, and safer surgeries with less radiation and bleeding than traditional methods. However, PSGP's one‐time use design and the learning curve required for its application are limitations, suggesting areas for further research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
