Slope correction for acl re-tear prevention

Much has been said about slope correcting osteotomies in ACL injury with > 10 degree tibial slope. Surek et al have found the lateral tibial slope followed by medial tibial slope and lastly differential slope ratio to be statistically significant risk factor for failure.  Therefore correcting  both condyle slope may not be be ideal. Do we need to do selective uni-condyle slope correction to correct the torsional and sagital forces on the reconstructed ACL.
