Anterior Opening Wedge Osteotomy of the Proximal Tibia for Genu Recurvatum Caused by Partial Proximal Tibial Epiphyseal Arrest

For genu recurvatum deformity after tibial fracture, precise correction osteotomy is necessary to acquire a good clinical outcome. No report on genu recurvatum has evaluated precise preoperative planning with image-processing software for three-dimensional (3D) design and modeling. We herein report a case of osseous genu recurvatum treated by anterior opening wedge osteotomy according to precise preoperative 3D simulation. This is a useful tool for precise correction of osseous deformity.
