Deformity correction and reconstructive procedures using percutaneous techniques.
Corrections of deformities in adults traditionally have been performed with open exposure of the lesions, precise bone cuts, rigid plate fixation, and delayed weightbearing. By obtaining a good preoperative evaluation, and meticulously planning each step of the corrective sequence, good technical results and improved functional capabilities can be attained using percutaneous techniques.
