Distal femoral varus osteotomy is a well-described treatment option for patients with valgus malalignment associated with a variety of underlying conditions.

Background: Distal femoral varus osteotomy is a procedure that is performed for the treatment of lateralcompartment osteoarthritis of the knee as well as for correction of the associated valgus deformity. However, its role remains controversial and its efficacy in the treatment of associated patellofemoral arthritis has not been well studied. Abstract. Distal femoral varus osteotomy is a well-described treatment option for patients with valgus malalignment associated with a variety of underlying conditions. This procedure may be the definitive treatment option in active patients with isolated lateral compartment osteoarthritis or posttraumatic arthritis. This study reports the results of a case series of opening wedge distal femoral varus osteotomies for valgus lateral osteoarthritis of the knee. Patients and methods Eighteen patients underwent osteotomy surgery (21 knees) with the aim of correcting the mechanical axis to 48–50% from medial to lateral. Osteotomy: high tibial (valgus) and distal femoral (varus), July 2019. 2 Patient Information – Osteotomy: high tibial (valgus) and distal femoral (varus) Knee anatomy and the problem The knee joint is formed by the lower end of the thigh bone (the femoral condyles) and the upper surface of the shin bone (the tibial plateau). However, little is known regarding the analogous opening wedge technique for femoral osteotomy used to correct valgus deformity. Our experience with the opening wedge distal femoral varus osteotomy has been favorable and is an integral component of our management of patients with cartilage or meniscal pathology of the lateral compartment of the knee. The surgical options in treating valgus deformity are arthroscopic debridement with or without abrasion arthroplasty, proximal tibial varus osteotomy, distal femoral varus osteotomy, combined femoral-tibial varus osteotomy, unicompartmental knee arthroplasty, and total knee arthroplasty. Because of this, distal femoral osteotomy (DFO) is the treatment of choice to correct valgus deformity at the knee to restore a parallel joint line and avoid iatrogenic joint line obliquity, which may occur after a HTO for valgus alignment. DFOs can be performed using a lateral opening wedge or a medial closing wedge technique. PDF | On Jan 1, 2008, Drew W.
