| Summary: | Post-traumatic limb deformity is often multiplanar and thus is a difficult pathology to deal with surgically. Precise preoperative planning and accurate intraoperative execution are two main important steps that lead to satisfactory outcome. Computer-assisted planning and three-dimensional-printed patient-specific instrumental guides provide excellent aid to the two steps, respectively. We report a case of posttraumatic lower limb deformity in a patient who underwent closing wedge corrective osteotomy with the aid of the aforementioned new technologies. |
