[To discharge one compartment of the knee without a varisation or valgisation osteotomy in the knee region (author's transl)]. 1977

M Izadpanah, and J Keönch-Fraknóy

The correction of a varus or valgus deformity around the knee joint as prophylaxis or as a therapy of monocompartmental osteoarthritis of the knee is limited in its indication and of the amount of correction. The experiments have shown a possibility of discharging one compartment by a translocation of the knee to lateral or medial side after a supracondylar osteotomy. The method and its indication have been discussed.
