Abstract:
Complex deformities around the knee joint are usually severe and have several aetiologies. They can be present in one or more planes, with variations in severity between planes. The occurrence and progression of the deformity can be influenced by local and systemic factors. Several types of osteotomies and fixation methods are available to correct these complex deformities. The selection of the osteotomy used to correct a deformity depends on the type of deformity, its severity and its aetiology. Therefore, precise planning taking into consideration the above factors is necessary to achieve the goal.

Development of the Limb Synovial Joints
The mesenchymal stem cells differentiate into chondrocytes that form the hyaline cartilage, and later the cartilaginous model of the bone. This model further transforms into a bone. This process is known as endochondral ossification.
