[Purpose] This study aimed to assess the correlation between lateral thrust and clinical symptoms after high tibial osteotomy and determine lower limb alignments that may decrease lateral thrust. [Participants and Methods] We included 54 patients (73 knees) who underwent high tibial osteotomy. Clinical symptoms, including the Japanese Orthopaedic Association score and the hip–knee–ankle angle measured via radiography, were assessed 12 months postoperatively. Lateral thrust was measured using three-dimensional motion analyses. Logistic regression was used to calculate the cut-off values with good Japanese Orthopaedic Association score and lateral thrust as dependent variables and both lateral thrust and hip–knee–ankle angle as independent variables. [Results] The lateral thrust cut-off was 3.1° (sensitivity: 0.83; specificity: 0.74; area under the curve: 0.76), while that of the hip–knee–ankle angle was 1.9° of valgus (sensitivity: 0.71; specificity: 0.81; area under the curve: 0.72). [Conclusion] Good clinical outcomes after high tibial osteotomy can be expected with a lateral thrust of ≤3.0°, indicating that the target hip–knee–ankle angle should be 2.0° valgus. In cases where valgus alignment is insufficient, lateral thrust may develop, which should be assessed using gait analysis.

[Purpose] This study aimed to investigate the relationship between clinical outcomes after high tibial osteotomy and metabolic syndrome-related factors, such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, and obesity. [Participants and Methods] A total of 73 patients (73 knees) who underwent high tibial osteotomy for knee osteoarthritis between 2018 and 2020 were included. We investigated the correlation between metabolic syndrome-related factors and clinical symptom assessment (Japanese Orthopedic Association Score) and examined knee function and lower alignment. [Results] At three months postoperatively, the Japanese Orthopedic Association score showed no main and synergistic effects on metabolic syndrome-related factors, and the preoperative Japanese Orthopedic Association score only showed a main effect on metabolic syndrome-related factors. At 12 months postoperatively, the Japanese Orthopedic Association score showed main and synergistic effects on diabetes mellitus, obesity, hypertension and dislipidemia. [Conclusion] Metabolic syndrome-related factors are associated with poorer clinical outcomes after high tibial osteotomy.
