Schematic diagram illustrating an anterior closing-wedge HTO to reduce the posterior tibial slope in the setting of ACL deficiency. The red arrows represent the function of the extensor mechanism of the knee in the setting of ACL deficiency. When the tibial slope is increased there is an exaggeration of the effect of ACL deficiency. When the slope is reduced with an osteotomy this effect is also reduced.
