title: Recorrection Osteotomies and Total Knee Arthroplasties After Failed Bilateral High Tibial Osteotomies.
abstract: This article reports the case of a 58-year-old man with failed bilateral opening wedge high tibial osteotomies. Because of excessive valgus deformities, each total knee arthroplasty (TKA) was combined with a recorrection osteotomy. TKAs were performed consecutively. Recorrection osteotomy using a long-stemmed tibial component and a derotation plate corrected the valgus malalignment and maintained native ligament stability in each posterior cruciate ligament-retaining TKA.
