Distal Femoral Osteotomy in Genovalgum: Internal Fixation with Blade Plate Versus Casting
Background: To compare the results of two different ways of distal femoral osteotomy stabilization in patients suffering from genuvalgum: internal fixation with plate, and casting. Methods: In a non-randomized prospective study, after distal femoral osteotomy with the zigzag method, patients were divided into two groups: long leg casting, and internal fixation with blade plate. For all pati...

متن کاملDistal Femoral Osteotomy
Background Distal femoral osteotomies (DFO) can be used to correct deformities around the knee. Although osteotomies can be fixed with either internal or external fixation techniques, the advantages of one over the other are unclear. Questions/purposes We asked whether (1) for both techniques, we could accurately correct the deformities based on our preoperative goals for mechanical axis deviat...

Osteotomy procedures around the knee can alter the biomechanical axis of the knee, thereby shifting the load from one compartment to another. This can be used to unload an arthritic painful compartment or to decrease the weight experienced by a cartilage restoration procedure. Recent clinical and biomechanical studies have emphasized the importance of correcting the weight bearing axis in a car...
