ABSTRACT
A new method of oblique tibial metaphyseal osteotomy that uses a single osteotomy cut has been used to allow correction of multiplanar rotational deformities in children. Graphs are used to predict the necessary angle of osteotomy. The osteotomy is performed through a 1-cm incision in the proximal tibial metaphysis, using multiple drill holes and an osteotome. Correction is maintained by casting with or without internal fixation. Fourteen such osteotomies have been followed an average of 27 months without major complications. This osteotomy allows maximal maintenance of length, stability, and metaphyseal contact through a small, cosmetically acceptable incision. Minimal soft-tissue dissection is necessary.
