Optimizing Reduction Guide Stability in Osteotomy Using Patient-Specific Instrumentation: A Basic Guideline
When performing opening or closing wedge osteotomies, which mainly involve bending of the guide, a high-profile guide and longitudinally oriented K-wire slots should be used. When torque is expected as in rotational osteotomies, the K-wire holes in guides should be oriented transversely to reduce intraoperative deformation.
