Abstract
A theoretical mathematical study of coronal and sagittal correction during upper tibial osteotomy is proposed. The amount of opening to be made in the coronal and sagittal planes is quantified with the help of tables. The precision of the correction is not limited by the method itself but rather by the clinical and radiological determination of the pre-operative deformity as well as the precision of the surgical technique.
