Different stages of the medial open wedge distal femoral osteotomy. From 55 millimeters proximal to the knee joint to just proximal to the lateral knee condyle, two pins are inserted (a). Osteotomy in the posterior three fourth of the Femur is made parallel to the inserted pins in a way that 1 centimeter near the lateral cortex remains intact (b). The ventral one fourth of the femur is cut vertically (c). After completing the osteotomy, the gap between the proximal and distal femur is increased to reach the scheduled angle between the two parts. Then the TomoFix plate is placed in order to fix the fracture site and the gap is filled with bone graft (d)
