The treatment of distal femoral valgus deformities in skeletally mature patients might be a challenging surgical problem with significant morbidity. Treatment options are various and include osteotomy and external fixation, intramedullary nailing, and plating using standard and locking plates. We describe technical notes of minimally invasive technique of fixator-assisted plating using a supracondylar locking plate. During a period of 3 years, we operated on six patients (seven femurs) with distal femoral valgus deformities of different etiologies. All patients achieved correction of the deformities and started full weight bearing with radiographic evidence of union 6 weeks after correction. We believe that fixator-assisted locking plating has advantages over correction using external fixation and intramedullary nailing. This method of correction can be performed by a minimally invasive technique, precisely, and with minimal morbidity. |
