Abstract

Introduction: Genu valgum could be approached by uniplanar or biplanar osteotomy in which site union and postoperative knee range of motion play important roles in technique selection. Methods: Study was performed on 30 cases including 14 males and 16 females. Two of them had severe genu varum deformity and 28 had genu valgum. Participants underwent biplanar lateral distal femoral osteotomy. Osteotomy requirement was assessed by Lateral distal femoral angle measurement. Results: Thirty patients underwent the biplanar procedure over the 4 years. Two years follow up showed complete union, full knee range of motion and within the acceptable alignment. Conclusion: Biplanar osteotomy is an effective method to create the wider inner cancellous surface to achieve better osteotomy site union and knee range of motion.
