This book offers a comprehensive overview of the present knowledge on indications and techniques
for osteotomies around the knee including recent experimental and clinical results and new developments
in surgical techniques and implants.
The reader will gain insight into:
- The basis of clinical and radiological deformity analysis.
- The principles and details of preoperative planning, including frontal and sagittal corrections.
- The surgical techniques for osteotomies of the distal femur and the proximal tibia, including
frontal and sagittal plane corrections as well as rotational corrections.
- The use of specifically designed plate fixators for osteotomy fixation (TomoFix plates).
- The handling of perioperative and postoperative complications.
- Appropriate techniques for revision after osteotomy around the knee.
“I consider this book an important tool for future clinical practice since I strongly feel
that osteotomies will remain an important procedure in the spectrum of joint preserving knee surgery.”
