| Medial
femorotibial osteoarthritis of the knee with genu varum is almost always
associated with metaphyseal varus. Ideally, this deformity should be corrected
at its very site, i.e. in the medial tibial metaphyseal area, by medial
opening tibial osteotomy. This osteotomy restores the anatomy of the tibial metaphysis thereby facilitating subsequent arthroplasty, unlike lateral closing tibial osteotomy which is responsible for metaphyseal malunion. Use of the Anthony K system eliminates all of the classical disadvantages of medial opening tibial osteotomy and allows : |

Precisely adjustable opening that
can be modified at all stages of the operation. Solid
fixation eliminating the need for iliac bone graft or wedge. Early
rehabilitation without postoperative immobilization. |
