The original technique of in plus high tibial osteotomy with the use of CZ-2 (after Czyrny) external distractor/compressor in proximal tibia varus deformity is presented. It has been used in 5 cases with 3 years follow-up. Fixing the device to the bone before performing an incomplete osteotomy allows for precise correction and prevents intraoperative complications. If desired correction exceeds 10 degrees, two stages are recommended: first intraoperative one with filling of the created defect with frozen bone graft and final, postoperative one, performed according to bone lengthening principles.

D010003	Osteoarthritis	A progressive, degenerative joint disease, the most common form of arthritis, especially in older persons. The disease is thought to result not from the aging process but from biochemical changes and biomechanical stresses affecting articular cartilage. In the foreign literature it is often called osteoarthrosis deformans.
