Distal femoral deformity correction by percutaneous open-wedge osteotomy and a simplified external fixation technique: a retrospective case series

Conclusions: The distal femoral osteotomy (DFO) with a unilateral Ilizarov fixator modification is an entirely percutaneous procedure that has less risk of primary or secondary loss of correction. Stability of the construct allows early mobilization. Level of Evidence: Level IV.
