The impact of mal-angulated femoral rotational osteotomies on mechanical leg axis: a computer simulation model

Abstract Background Subtrochanteric or supracondylar femoral rotational osteotomies are established surgical treatments for femoral rotational deformities. Unintended change of the mechanical leg axis is an identified problem. Different attempts exist to plan a correct osteotomy plane, but implement...
