Corrective osteotomy for the treatment of genu procurvatun. Surgery.
The authors present the method known as proximal tibial osteotomy for the treatment of genu procurvatum. The importance of an accurate preoperative study, particularly aimed at avoiding negative repercussions on the position of the patella, and of a correct anatomical exposure with isolation of the peroneal nerve for any iatrogenic lesions, must be emphasized; a condylic plate was used to stabilize osteotomy was stabilized, adapting well to the anatomy of the region, and allowing us to obtain correction of any associated deformities on the frontal plane.
