This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of the picture archiving and communication system (PACS) method in order to select the correction angle and gap in open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (HTO) and clinical results of the patients.


 This retrospective study analyzed 27 consecutive patients (30 knees) underwent open-wedge HTO using the PACS method between April 2013 and March 2015.  In open-wedge HTO, correction of angular deformity based on the PACS method could be an accurate correction method and the good clinical results could be obtained.
