Abstract: In this study, the effects of medial collateral ligament (MCL) release and the limb correction strategies with pre-existing MCL laxity on tibiofemoral contact force distribution after high tibial osteotomy (HTO) were investigated. The medial and lateral contact forces of the knee were quantified during simulated standing using computational modeling techniques. MCL slackness had a primary influence on contact force distribution of the knee, while there was little effect of simulated limb correction. Anterior and middle bundle release, which involved the partial release of two-thirds of the superficial MCL, was shown to be an optimal surgical method in HTO, achieving balanced contact distribution in simulated weight-bearing standing.
