Figure Lengend Snippet: Intraoperative photograph demonstrating the final construct with application of the titanium, precontoured locking plate and complete bony apposition at the site of the osteotomy which is demonstrated by the freer at the site of the osteotomy. In the photograph the supine patient's torso is positioned to the left side of the image.

Article Snippet: A precontoured titanium medial distal femoral locking plate (TomoFix; DePuy Synthes, Warsaw, IN) is placed at the medial femoral cortex and a fluoroscopic image is taken to estimate the location of the planned osteotomy cut.

Red dot, osteotomy hinge; AT adductor tubercle (encircled in white); Yellow solid lines, medial–lateral connection of the femoral cortical bone; Yellow dashed line, anatomical axis of the femoral diaphysis, defined as the line connecting the midpoints of the two yellow solid lines; Green line (distance “ a ”), length of the osteotomy gap; Blue line (distance “ b ”), height of the osteotomy gap; Distance “ c ”, horizontal distance between the medial cortical bone and the osteotomy hinge; Distance “ d ”, vertical distance between the proximal margin of the AT and the osteotomy hinge; Distance “ e ”, horizontal distance between the proximal lateral margin of the AT and the osteotomy hinge; *(angle alpha), wedge angle between the proximal and distal osteotomy plane; **(angle beta), slope of the osteotomy defined as the angle between a perpendicular line to the anatomical axis of the femur and the proximal osteotomy plane
