Abstract:
This study analyzes mathematically the orientation of the superior tibial epiphysis in frontal and sagittal planes for knees with genu varum arthrosis. The assessment of the opening is determined mathematically for the osteotomies; this leads to the establishment of tables which can be used in practise during upper tibial osteotomies.
