Abstract
Minimally invasive double-level osteotomy (DLP) surgery is performed in severe knee varus, when extra-articular deformity is identified in both the distal femur and proximal tibia. The main advantage is to maintain a horizontal joint line and avoid creating secondary anatomic deformities. This article considers the pearls and pitfalls in performing minimally invasive DLO surgery.
