Abstract:RESUMOObjetivo: Avaliar os resultados em longo prazo da osteotomia femoral distal de varização e procurar estabelecer critérios preditivos que possam auxiliar na seleção dos pacientes a serem submetidos a essa técnica. Métodos: Quinze pacientes portadores de osteoartrose do compartimento lateral e deformidade em valgo do joelho foram submetidos à osteotomia femoral distal de varização em "V" e fixação com placa-lâmina lateral, procurando-se alinhar o joelho a 0º no eixo anatômico. O seguimento médio foi de 81,… Show more
“…Andrade et al (11) were concerned about causing around 5° overcorrection when they recommended entering the DCS screw at a varus angle of 5° in relation to the tangent distally to the femoral condyles. However, they did not take into account the possibility that there might be a deformity component in addition to the distal femur, which would certainly lead to inadequate realignment of the axis.…”

“…Distal femoral osteotomy for correction of predominantly lateral genu valgum and arthrosis in patients under the age of 60 years is widely supported in the literature 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 .…”

“…With the use of DCS, Andrade et al (11) described a technique in which the DCS screw was placed at a varus angle of 5° in relation to the tangent to the condyles in anteroposterior view, assuming that the implant, which has 5° between the screw and the plate, would go on aligning the knee adequately, thereby producing 5° of hypercorrection.…”
The step-by-step preoperative planning for supracondylar opening wedge osteotomy of the femur for precise correction of the load axis of the lower limb using a fixed-angle implant (95° AO blade plate) is presented. The surgical technique and the use of a bone graft from the same site for filling in the defect are also presented.

“…O pós-operatório das osteotomias exige repouso (restrição à marcha), por pelo menos um mês, e a partir daí, utilização de carga parcial. Somente após constatada a consolidação (que ocorre em média em 8 semanas), é possível o apoio total do membro operado (Cerqueira et al, 1993;Camargo et al,1995;Andrade, et al, 2009).…”

“…Nos casos moderados a graves o realinhamento pode ser feito por meio das osteotomias. No entanto, a abordagem cirúrgica tem alto custo e necessidade de afastamento prolongado do paciente de suas atividades e inúmeras complicações Andrade, et al, 2009) e insucesso (Dowd et al, 2006;Benzakour et al, 2010).…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
