ABSTRACT
This review explores the intricate relationship between knee osteotomy and frontal plane joint line orientation, emphasizing the dynamic nature of the joint line's influence on knee forces and kinematics. Consideration of coronal alignments, knee phenotypes, and associated angles (medial proximal tibial angle (MTPA), lateral distal femoral angle (LDFA), joint line convergence angle (JLCA)) becomes crucial in surgical planning to avoid joint line deformities. The double-level osteotomy is to be considered a valid option, especially for severe deformities; however, the target patient cannot be selected solely based on high predicted postoperative joint line obliquity (JLO) and MPTA.
