Changes in patellar height and patellofemoral alignment following double level osteotomy performed for osteoarthritic knees with severe varus deformity

Changes in patellar height and patellofemoral alignment following double level osteotomy performed for osteoarthritic knees with severe varus deformity

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of double level osteotomy (DLO), a combination of a lateral closed distal femoral osteotomy (LCWDFO) and medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO), on patellar height and patellofemoral alignment as compared to those of isolated MOWHTO. Methods: Twenty-six c...
