What is it about?
High Tibial Osteotomy and Tibial Slope Correction Osteotomy requires precise preoperative planning. Tibial slope measurement and a slope correction osteotomy therefore requires planning without errors. Currently utilised preoperative planning techniques for slope correction are not very accurate. These can lead to errors in surgical correction and therefore impact the results. This novel “Precision technique” of planning overcomes errors in planning of the current traditional technique. It gives us the precise osteotomy correction angle by a simple measuring technique.

Perspectives
This method of tibial slope measurement and calculation of osteotomy correction angle is with least errors and can therefore give more desirable and expected surgical corrections which translate into better results.
