Osteotomies around the knee for treating osteoarthritis or knee instability are currently well-established procedures. Success of these realignment procedures is based on the accuracy and the reliability of correction angles in the coronal and sagittal alignment. In this context of improving precision and adapting the correction to each patient, navigation is currently being widely used. The rationale for its use is based on understanding the advantages and limitations, technical principles, and potential pitfalls. This article describes these areas and the overall clinical outcomes of this system for knee osteotomies.
