The management of constitutional knee deformities may be a challenge. In most cases, the deformities are limited and accessible to conventional osteotomy techniques. This case reports an adult with extreme epiphyseal dysplasia of both distal femurs, and its management by a new osteotomy technique. At the last follow-up, 2.8 years after the previous surgery, the patient was walking without limitation or pain, and all osteotomies were healed. He had a Knee Society Score (KSS) of 57 and a functional KSS score of 100.
