Outcomes of Medial Closing-Wedge Distal Femoral Osteotomy for Femoral- and Tibial-Based Valgus Deformity
MCW-DFO is an effective procedure for treating pathological valgus knees, regardless of the site of the deformity. Both FB-V and TB-V groups showed comparable improvements in the clinical scores, development of osteoarthritis, and the restoration of a neutral mechanical axis. Notably, FB-V knees achieved more JLO correction compared with the TB-V ones.
