title: Biplanar supracondylar femoral derotation osteotomy for patellofemoral malalignment: the anterior closed-wedge technique.
abstract: Patellofemoral malalignment can be caused by several factors including increased internal torsion of the femur. As a causative treatment method, supracondylar femoral derotation osteotomies have been proposed. For valgus- and varus-producing supracondylar femoral osteotomies, a biplanar osteotomy has been introduced in order to enhance primary fixation stability and osseous consolidation by increased bone-to-bone contact. In this article, a modification of this technique is described, which allows for a biplanar supracondylar femoral derotation osteotomy.
