Blount disease is a common childhood condition that requires surgical correction. The conventional method of osteotomy and acute correction is associated with risk of neurovascular complications and occasionally displacement of the intra operative alignment. This case report describes a new techniqu...

The conventional method of osteotomy and acute correction is associated with risk of neurovascular complications and occasionally displacement of the intra operative alignment. This case report describes a new technique that involves multiple longitudinal osteotomies over the proximal tibia without loss of cortical continuity between the proximal and distal tibia. It simulates an incomplete (greenstick) fracture that allows plastic deformation at the site of correction. This correction is more stable, and can be expected to heal more rapidly than conventional treatments.http://morthoj.org/2010v4n1/Bamboo_Osteotomy_Blounts_Disease.pdf
