Lateral Opening Wedge Distal Femoral Osteotomy-Technique, Pearls, and Pitfalls.

Summary: Imagine your knee bends inward too much, causing pain on the outside of your joint. Doctors can fix this with a surgery called LOWDFO. They carefully make a small opening in the outer thigh bone near the knee to straighten the leg. This works just as well as other surgeries and helps active people get back on their feet. If done correctly, it has very few problems like broken bones or nerve damage.
