Abstract
Valgus knee deformities requiring surgery are difficult to manage due to the relative rarity and abnormal biomechanics of the condition and the unique soft-tissue and osseous pathologic features. Surgical options include arthroscopic debridement, abrasion arthroplasty, proximal tibial varus osteotomy, distal femoral varus osteotomy, combined femoral-tibial varus osteotomy, unicompartmental knee arthroplasty, and total knee arthroplasty. Each procedure has its own indications, contraindications, and limitations.
