Preoperative, postoperative, and 8\u2010week\u2010recheck radiographs were reviewed to measure changes in the conformation of the proximal tibia. The accuracy of execution was assessed by comparing planned and actual postoperative tibial plateau angle (TPA) and the lengths of bone contact along osteotomy lines.

Mean TPA decreased from 40.69\u2009\u00b0 (range 28\u201063) to 6.94\u2009\u00b0 (range 2\u201020) after surgery (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.001). Mean tibial length decreased by 0.5\u2009mm (\u00b10.16,<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.003), from 138\u2009mm (range 65\u2010267) to 137.5\u2009mm (range 65\u2010265) after mCCWO. The tibial long axis (TLA) shifted by a mean of 3.47\u2009\u00b0 (range 0\u201010). Planned and actual postoperative TPA differed by \u22120.66\u2009\u00b0 (\u00b10.47,<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.034). The proximal and distal apposing osteotomies differed in length by 1.81\u2009mm (\u00b10.35).
