Biomechanical studies on framework and insertion of pins of external fixation.

abstract：:Distal femoral varus osteotomy and blade-plate fixation for valgus deformity of the knee proved effective in restoring axial alignment in 18 of 36 knees (34 patients). Patients were followed for an average of 5.4 years (range: 2 to 19 years). The osteotomies were performed on 14 men and 22 women (average age: 44 years...
