AIMS: To assess the effect of high @entity2096 (HTO and DFO) on the pressure characteristics of the ankle joint. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Varus and @entity893 of the knee was simulated in @entity1 cadaver full-length legs. Testing included four measurements: baseline @entity893 , 5   and 10   re-aligning osteotomy, and control baseline @entity893 . For HTO, testing was rerun with the subtalar joint fixed. In order to represent half body weight, a 300 N force was applied onto the femoral head. Intra-articular sensors captured ankle pressure. RESULTS: In the absence of restriction of subtalar movement, insignificant migration of the centre of force and changes of maximal pressure were seen at the ankle joint. With @entity11535 , more significant lateralisation of the centre of force were seen with the @entity2720 . Changes in maximum pressure were again not significant. CONCLUSION: The re-alignment of coronal plane knee deformities by HTO and DFO altered ankle pressure characteristics. When the subtalar joint was fixed in the varus position, migration of centre of force after HTO was more significant than when the subtalar joint was fixed in valgus.
