[Spherical osteotomy (author's transl)].
The authors have devised a new type of saw which makes it possible to cut bone spherically. This type of osteotomy is useful when correction is required in more than one plane and provides good bone contact between bone ends. The technique is described. It has been used at the upper end of the tibia or femur and in the calcaneus and forefoot.
