Abstract
We report four cases of total Knee arthroplasty with corrective femoral or tibial osteotomy.
These cases included one deformity after supracondylar fracture of the femur, two deformities after fracture of tibial plateau, and one case of advanced osteoarthritis following high tibial osteotomy.
Corrective osteotomy for extra-articular deformities resulted in a good aligment of limbs and fair soft tissue balancing.
We concluded that this operative technique has a practical value not only in correcting three-dimensioal deformity about the knee joint, which leads a good aligment of the affected limbs, but also in providing total knee arthroplasty and fixation of the osteotomy site at the same time by using cement fixation of the component with long stem.
