Knee Osteotomies

Revision Upper Tibial Osteotomy for Failed Previous Osteotomy
with Significant Deformity Using Circular External Fixation.

Brad had undergone bilateral upper tibial osteotomies with internal fixation. Unfortunately, the osteotomy on his right knee failed to hold up with the bone, eventually forming a deformed position, shortening, and increasing amount of pain.

A circular external fixator was preassembled, applied, and was used to gradually distract through an osteotomy site, just below the previous osteotomy.

After completion of the osteotomy he has restoration of his alignment.
