Abstract
Lateral compartment osteoarthritis (LCOA) is often associated with valgus deformity of the knee. The concept of correcting the alignment by performing distal femoral varus osteotomy (DFVO) to unload the lateral compartment is well accepted and it is viewed as the preferred option for young active patients due to dissatisfaction from arthroplasty under 55 years of age or if they wish to remain active. Beyond this there is no consensus on patient selection, preoperative assessment, techniques to achieve correction, end point of correction, return to work or sports post-surgery, and survivorship of osteotomy with conversion to a total knee replacement as the end point due to heterogenous, retrospective studies. Here, we review relevant literature to help patient selection, preoperative work up, techniques, and outcomes.
