[Correction osteotomy and stabilization with the interlocking nail]

Compression and angle plates fitted after corrective osteotomies for congenital or post-traumatic bony malalignment entail the disadvantage that a longer period of non-weight-bearing is needed before consolidation. This is in contrast to the advantages of medullary nailing with interlocking nails in dynamic and static applications, which allow early weight-bearing. The interlocking nail can be used after osteotomies to correct derotation and axial malalignment, but also after lengthening and shortening osteotomies, which we perform both as open procedures and as closed procedures with the aid of the Küntscher saw.
