Effects of lateral opening wedge and medial closing wedge distal femoral osteotomies on axial load stability

The stability of the current distal femoral osteotomy is insufficient for early weight bearing and bone healing. The purpose of this study was to test the stability of medial closing wedge- (MCW-) and lateral opening wedge-distal femoral osteotomies (LOW-DFO), which have improved with the recent advances in technology.
