Abstract
Published studies have recommended correction of osseous alignment in patients with chronic deficiencies of multiple knee ligaments and varus angulation. However, similar treatment for isolated chronic lateral collateral ligament deficiency has not been reported. We report such a case treated successfully with a medial high tibial osteotomy using a dynamic external fixator.
