Total knee replacement after supracondylar femoral osteotomy

H U Cameron et al. Am J Knee Surg. 1997 Spring.

Abstract

Surgically produced deformities around the knee may influence the outcome of total knee replacement (TKR). This article reviews eight cases of TKR following supracondylar varus femoral osteotomy. While in each case, the distal femur was offset medially on the femoral diaphysis, the outcome as measured by the clinical result and the alignment was uniformly excellent. It is concluded, therefore, that supracondylar varus femoral osteotomy does not affect the subsequent TKR.
