Medial Gradual Opening Osteotomy of the Tibia With Monolateral External Fixator for Correcting the Varus Deformity of the Tibia.

Correction of the varus deformities in the tibia is necessary because of the excessive pressure exerted on the medial compartment of the knee, which intensifies the degenerative process. Correction strategies encompass a variety of approaches and depend on the patient's individual characteristics, age, soft tissue condition, and the orthopaedic surgeon's experience with different surgical materials. Size and location of the deformity, whether gradual or acute, play crucial roles in choosing the most appropriate material and shape.
