“…They compared the failed-group and the nonfailed one, and they stated that in the failed group, the average age was significantly higher [38]. On the other hand, Forkel et al analyzed different variables potentially correlated with the outcome of DFO; they found that neither age nor presence of associated microfractures affected the result [39]. Afterward, different authors described their results with slight modification of the original surgical technique.…”

“…The authors concluded that overcorrecting the osteotomy of 5° normalize contact pressure and contact areas in the lateral compartment (23). Similarly, others authors reported good clinical outcomes with valgus deformity over-correction (mechanical axis goal at 40-41% of tibial plateau) due to lateral compartment unloading and medial muscles' forces neutralization (20,24).…”

“…Recently Forkel et al (24) described their surgical technique: bone cuts were performed at the same way described by Healy et al (27) but the osteotomies were fixed with locking plates. This fixation may increase the stability of the osteotomy and reduce the time of post-operative weight bearing limitation (13,24).…”

“…Contraindications to the procedure include inflammatory arthritis, flexion contracture of greater than 15 , knee flexion of less than 90 , fixed valgus deformity of greater than 20 , and arthritis in the medial or patellofemoral compartments. 1,7,9 Patient Positioning and Anesthesia…”

“…[2][3][4] Recently, the indications for varus-producing DFOs have expanded to include the treatment of valgus malalignment in the setting of central or medial ligamentous instability or incompetence. [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] This is of particular importance and utility because several authors have also reported that healing of both the native and reconstructed medial collateral ligament (MCL) is impaired with persistent valgus deformity at the knee. 6 For this reason, many surgeons now choose to perform a DFO to correct the valgus deformity at the knee not only in the setting of isolated lateral compartment pathology but also in the setting of medial ligamentous incompetence.…”
