Abstract Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the area of the osteotomy surface, including the flange and wedge volume, in open wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO), distal tibial tuberosity osteotomy (DTO), and distal tibial tuberosity arc osteotomy (DTAO) using tibial sawbones. It was hypothesized that the area of the osteotomy surface, including the flange, in DTAO was larger than that in OWHTO and DTO and that the wedge volume in DTAO was smaller than that in OWHTO and DTO. Methods Fifteen tibial sawbones were divided equally into three groups: OWHTO, DTO, and DTAO. The total area of the osteotomy surface in OWHTO, DTO, and DTAO was compared using image analysis software. The contact area of the flange and the wedge volume at wedge heights of 5, 10, and 15 mm were compared among osteotomy types. One-way repeatedmeasures analysis of variance was used to compare the total area of the osteotomy surface, the contact area of the flange, and the wedge volume at 5, 10, and 15 mm in OWHTO, DTO, and DTAO. Results The total area of the osteotomy surface in DTO and DTAO was significantly larger than that in OWHTO (P
