Abstract:
Osteotomy around the knee is a widely considered surgical procedure for osteoarthritis with lower extremity malalignment. High tibial osteotomy (HTO) is performed for varus deformity, while distal femur osteotomy (DFO) is performed for valgus deformity. However, if the correction is insufficient, double osteotomy can also be considered. This report included the basic principles and current concepts of patient selection and preoperative planning in osteotomy around the knee.
