Abstract
The knee is a complex structure composed of bone, cartilage, menisci, ligaments and muscles, which all work synergistically to optimize congruence, stability, and function. Osteotomies are procedures addressing an abnormal joint alignment, shifting the mechanical load from a diseased joint compartment to a healthier one. Preoperative planning is an important art of identifying the source of abnormal load distribution to the joint, enabling the surgeon to simulate a deformity correction ahead of the surgical procedure.
