pubmed:abstractText
Corrective osteotomy interventions on lower extremities are widely accepted procedures for restoring axial alignment of lower limbs. However, some studies reveal failure rates of up to 70 per cent in a 10 year time frame, which indicates that the success of corrective osteotomies depends on multiple factors. Based on a comprehensive review of error sources among conventional correction osteotomy interventions, a novel approach was developed in order to reduce these error sources among all clinical working steps (deformity determination, planning, and intra-operative realization). The article describes the implemented methodology for realizing optimal correction osteotomies based on a six-dimensional or 12-dimensional optimization module for single- and double-cut oblique osteotomies. The results show that the realized planning and navigation concept enables reduction in the error sources among the clinical working steps of correction osteotomy interventions.
