Uniplanar Osteotomy for Multiplanar Femoral Deformity Correction

J Orthop Trauma. 2019 Aug:33 Suppl 1:S32-S33. doi: 10.1097/BOT.0000000000001519.

Abstract

Long-bone deformity may be significantly symptomatic. A uniplanar corrective osteotomy uses a single cut to correct coronal, sagittal, and axial plane deformity simultaneously. Careful preoperative planning is required in addition to a comprehensive understanding of the magnitude and plane of the true deformity of the bone. With precise operative technique and intraoperative assessment of correction, good results can be achieved.
