ABSTRACT
Proximal tibial and distal femoral osteotomies are performed for arthritis or deformity around the knee. They may also be undertaken to unload a unicompartmental osteoarticular allograft. An osteotomy of the tibial tubercle (e.g. the Maquet osteotomy) may be performed for patello-femoral pain and a derotation osteotomy for torsional deformity. Genu recurvatum may be corrected by creating an anteriorly based opening-wedge or a posteriorly based closingwedge tibial osteotomy.
