Unintended femoral valgization after distal femoral derotational osteotomy in a patient with recurrent patella dislocation: A case report
Unintentional valgus alignment may result from osteotomies oriented perpendicular to the real anatomical shaft axis. Surgeons should consider using the virtual anatomical shaft axis to determine the cutting plane and minimize the risk of iatrogenic malalignment during DFDO.
