Linear influence of distal femur osteotomy on the Q-angle: one degree of varization alters the Q-angle by one degree

ConclusionDistal femur varization osteotomy has a linear effect on the Q-angle with a change of 1 ° per 1° of varization. The difference in TT–TG distance was mainly due to an unintentional rotational component implemented during surgery.
