Postoperative LSR and lateral x-rays were obtained on average 18\u2009months postoperative and postoperative clinical questionnaires at final visit (mean follow up 46\u2009months). A subgroup analysis of the different surgical techniques (oHTO vs. cDFO) was performed, with regards to radiological and clinical outcomes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Finally 28 osteotomies with medial tibial opening (oHTO) or lateral femoral closing (cDFO) wedge osteotomies in 25 consecutive patients (mean age 40\u2009years) were identified. There were 17 tibal and 11 femoral procedures. All osteotomies were performed at the origin of deformity, which was of different etiology. The average deviation of the final HKA compared to the preoperative planning was 2.4\u00b0\u2009\u00b1\u20090.4\u00b0. Overall, there was a significant improvement in all clinical scores (SF-36: 61.8 to 79.4,<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001; Lysholm-score: 72.7 to 90.4,<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001; VAS: 3 to 1,<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001).
