Abstract
Medial open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO) is increasingly recognized as the preferred treatment option for active patients with varus malalignment and medial compartment osteoarthritis of the knee. This procedure aims to delay the degenerative process while alleviating pain and dysfunction. In this technical note, we aim to describe the tips and tricks for performing a safe MOWHTO, drawing on recent literature.
