Cannulated blade plate for proximal femoral varus osteotomy.
Fixation of the osteotomy site in the proximal femur is technically demanding. A new system, which includes cannulated chisels and a cannulated one-piece plate that can be inserted over a guide wire, is suggested. The new system simplifies the procedure and provides stable fixation.
