Survivorship and Complications of the Distal Femoral Osteotomy

摘要

Objectives:Distal femoral osteotomy (DFO) is a useful procedure in the young patient with symptomatic unicompartmental osteoarthritis and valgus malalignment to avoid or postpone knee arthroplasty. Distal femoral osteotomy can be technically demanding and various complications are reported in the literature. Our retrospective study aims to evaluate the outcomes and analyze survivorship of the distal femoral osteotomy until eventual conversion to knee arthroplasty.
