Popis: Abstract Background This study aimed to estimate the ratio of the anterior and posterior gaps before surgery that can minimize the posterior tibial slope (PTS) change through preoperative radiography, and to confirm whether the use of the block helps maintain the PTS during open wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO). Methods Patients who underwent OWHTO between 2015 and 2018 were included. To measure optimal anterior gap (AG) and posterior gap (PG) ratio, hinge to medial tibial tuberosity length (HTL), total osteotomy length (TOL), and PTS were measured using knee AP X-ray. Real AG and PG were measured using postoperative knee computed tomography. Use of the block was also confirmed. Results Total 107 knees (95 patients) were included. The average ratio between HTL and TOL was 70.9%. The average ratio AG: PG was 72.9%. PTS increased significantly from 10.2° to 11.2° postoperatively (p = 0.006). When the difference in HTL: TOL and AG: PG, and the amount of PTS change were analyzed using linear regression, there was a statistically significant correlation (correlation coefficient: − 25.9; p
