Patients’ details (quantity, gender, age, obesity, time until explantation) and the development of joint angles (aFTA, aLDFA and mMPTA) and the intermalleolar distance (IMD) as well as relapses, overcorrections and incomplete corrections as a function of the area treated (bilateral femoral medial, bilateral tibial medial and bilateral femorotibial)
