Subjects were prospectively observed at 3, 6 and 12\u00a0months after surgery. Primary endpoints included the reporting of adverse events, weight\u2010bearing status without pain and radiographic evidence of bony union. Secondary endpoints included maintenance of osteotomy correction angle, patient reported outcome (KOOS and SF\u201036) and gait analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Thirty\u2010two consecutive patients were included in the iBalance group (mean age 49.7, 30\u201367; M:F, 20:12), paired with 32 control subjects (49.8, 35\u201366; 21:11). Three patients (9.4%) in the iBalance group experienced a complication requiring intervention versus one patient (3.1%) in the control group. No statistically significant differences were seen between groups in terms of time to weight bearing, radiographic union, implant stability or patient reported outcome. Gait analysis revealed a statistically significant reduction in knee external adduction moment (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.001).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The iBalance medial opening wedge HTO system has been shown to be a safe, novel implant for use in proximal tibial osteotomy.
