  1. Between-group p-value evaluated using the chi-squared test (χ2); LHF (-), absence of a lateral hinge fracture; LHF ( +), presence of a lateral hinge fracture
  2. OWDTO opening-wedge distal tibial tubercle osteotomy, OWHTO opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy
  3. *p < 0.05 versus an OWDTO in the corresponding group
