Abstract
To investigate the feasibility and safety of a less invasive surgical approach to the distal medial aspect of the femur in supracondylar medial closing wedge osteotomy for the treatment of lateral compartment osteoarthritis of the knee. The aim of a less invasive approach is to minimize soft tissue disruption, reduce damage to neurovascular structures and thereby prevent muscle atrophy and optimize bone healing potential.
