Axis deformities of the lower limb — varus, valgus, rotational — affect load distribution across the joints and can progress over time. Correction begins with a detailed analysis of limb geometry and an individual osteotomy plan.
Indications
- Varus or valgus limb axis deformity
- Rotational disorders of the femur or tibia
- Progressive joint loading due to axis misalignment
Treatment stages
- Radiographic analysis of the mechanical and anatomical axis
- Correction modelling and selection of the osteotomy level
- Stable fixation in the corrected position
- Monitoring consolidation and restoring full weight-bearing
