Constraints and loading used for the intra‐operative simulation for both parts of the finite element analysis study. The distal tibia was fixed at a location far enough from the lateral hinge and osteotomy cut so as not to affect the details at the apex. A 10 mm opening, representing in this case a 10‐degree correction, was created by applying a relative displacement on the cut face: (a) initial and (b) loaded configurations.
