From: Finite element analysis of medial closing and lateral opening wedge osteotomies of the distal femur in relation to hinge fractures

Fig. 2

LOW (upper figure) and MCW (lower figure) with different hinge widths of 5, 7.5, and 10 mm. The cross-section area of the hinge is visible in the upper row. Lower row shows strain distribution in the hinge area. LOW: maximum (blue) and minimum (red) principle compressive strain. MCW: maximum (red) and minimum (blue) principle tensile strain. MCW: Medial closed wedge; LOW: Lateral open wedge
