[Programmed correction osteotomy by technical means with arched cut (author's transl)].
The programmed correction osteotomy is a possibility to correct defective positions of long bones with a determinable exactness by a technical appliance of operation. The appliance, resting on the bone, is leading the saw during the section. The cut surface is arcuate. By this technique it is possible to correct in a raised degree of exactness defective positions of bones in three dimensions with only two sections and without radiological checks or measurements. The programmed correction osteotomy and her stage of development up to now are described.
