Osteotomy

How is the surgical treatment of osteoarthritis of a partial knee in a patient with scruffy younger age?

Misalignment of the knee [knees inward (genu valgus) or out knees (genu varus)] can cause overload located in an area with greater contact in the knee, as well as in car tire wearing more dowdy in part through increased contact.
In the case of younger patients and / or assets should perform the alignment of the knee by osteotomy.
This alignment is maintained with a plate and screws that can be removed after consolidation of the bone cut.
