The purpose of this study is to present a novel modified biplanar medial opening-wedge (MOW) HTO technique where the osteotomies are performed in a Z-shaped fashion, and to present the medium-term clinical and radiographic results.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Materials and methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>We present a case series of 75 patients (80 knees) with mean age of 45.8\u00a0years, affected by isolated medial knee osteoarthritis and symptomatic varus knee malalignment, who underwent novel biplanar Z-shaped MOWHTO. Clinical and radiological outcomes were collected, retrospectively before surgery and at median follow-up of 7.2\u00a0years (95% CI 5.6\u20139.2\u00a0months) after surgery. Clinical results and satisfaction were assessed by visual analog scale (VAS), Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), and Likert scale. Radiological assessment involved the evaluation of the medial proximal tibial angle (MPTA), tibial slope (TS), Caton\u2013Deschamps index, and knee osteoarthritis grade according to Ahlb\u00e4ck classification. Pre- and postoperative results were compared using the two-tailed <jats:italic>t<\/jats:italic>-test or Wilcoxon\u2019s test of independent samples for paired data or nonparametric analog. <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05 was considered significant.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>At medium-term follow-up, Z-shaped MOWHTO showed a survival rate of 95\u2009\u00b1\u20091.7% with failure occurring in four knees due to symptom recurrence and osteoarthritis progression. No perioperative complications were observed (intraarticular fracture, delayed union or nonunion, and neurological injury). Mean bone healing time was 12\u00a0weeks. Clinical scores showed significant improvement at last follow-up and a good grade of satisfaction. MPTA increased significantly, while Caton\u2013Deschamps index decreased significantly.
