Hinge position significantly affects changes in the PTS and MPTA following open-wedge but not closed-wedge HTO. Understanding how to hinge position affects the PTS and MPTA is critical for surgeons performing open-wedge HTO procedures. Adopting an accurate hinge position is crucial for preventing complications, especially in open-wedge osteotomy, due to postoperative changes in the PTS and MPTA.
