[Tibial osteotomy in the treatment of static gonarthrosis].
Results of 35 cases of subcondylar tibial osteotomy performed for static osteo-arthritis of the knee from 1072-75 are reported. The surgical procedure consists of an oblique osteotomy followed by the removal of a wedge of bone with an internal or external base depending on the presence of "genu valgum" or "genu varum" respectively. Bone ends are united by screws. Major advantages of this operation are solid bony union of the osteotomy sections by screws and simplicity of execution.
