Abstract

Long-bone deformity may be significantly symptomatic. A uniplanar corrective osteotomy uses a single cut to correct coronal, sagittal, and axial plane deformity simultaneously. Careful preoperative planning is required in addition to a comprehensive understanding of the magnitude and plane of the true deformity of the bone. With precise operative technique and intraoperative assessment of correction, good results can be achieved.
