Abstract
Accurate rotational osteotomy is especially difficult in a triangular bone such as the tibia. A technique using a fibular graft to locate the center of rotation and provide stability has been used in 9 operations with very satisfying results. Average healing time was 7 1/2 weeks. A protractor has been designed to measure the degrees of rotation.Entities:
