Precision in Distal Femoral Knee Osteotomy

Description

Supracondylar femoral osteotomy (SFO) is a powerful, effective corrective procedure at the knee to reduce coronal plane deformities and restore physiological limb alignment.

 

Pre-operative imaging as part of surgical planning for these procedures is imperative however conventional imaging and templating using three-foot standing X-Rays and/or CT Scannograms can over or under-estimate the corrective measurements.

 

Our hypothesis is that valgus mal-alignment is a spectrum of deformity. By having advanced intra-operative imaging with real time feedback, we hope to highlight this spectrum not seen on plain film X-ray and thus improve the accuracy of our osteotomy procedures.
