recently attention has been directed at treating coronal malalignment and associated knee instabilities with HTO with and without ligament reconstruction. Further, there has been more interest shown in sagittal plane deformity of the proximal tibia. In

Introduction Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures have been estimated to occur in 200 000 persons annually in the United States. 1 Most of these patients eventually undergo ACL reconstruction based on continued instability symptoms
