Abstract

A simplified technique for performing an opening wedge distal femoral osteotomy was adapted from a previously described technique of high tibial osteotomy. This technique uses digital radiographic calculations to preoperatively determine both the desired angular correction and correct plate size to avoid intraoperative measurements. The preoperative digital templating technique and operative method for distal femoral osteotomy are described for genu valgum deformity and isolated lateral compartment gonarthrosis.
