Popis: Objective Patients who undergo a biplanar ascending medial open‐wedge high tibial osteotomy with an excessive correction angle might experience patella infera and even knee pain after surgery. The purpose of this study was to identify the cut‐off points for the degree of knee varus correction of open‐wedge high tibial osteotomy, which is related to the symptomatic patellar position change. Methods This retrospective study included 124 patients (mean age 61.69 ± 6.28 years; 78 women, 46 men) with varying degrees of varus knee osteoarthritis. All patients had undergone standard biplanar medial open‐wedge high tibial osteotomy. They were divided into nine groups according to the change in hip–knee–ankle angle. Plain radiographs and three‐dimensional CT images were obtained preoperatively and 18 months postoperatively. Patellar height was assessed using the Caton–Deschamps index, the Insall–Salvati index, and the Blackburne–Peel index. The patellofemoral index and patellar tilt were used to evaluate the degree of horizontal displacement of the patella. The varus correction, medial–proximal tibial angles, joint line convergence angles, and hip–knee–ankle angles were also measured. The subjective score was evaluated using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities osteoarthritis index (WOMAC). Results There were significant changes in patella indexes in each group after surgery, among which there was no significant difference in patellar height changes for Groups A to F (p > 0.05), which were significantly lower than those in Group G, H, and I (p
