Cannulated blade plate for proximal femoral varus osteotomy

Clin Orthop Relat Res. 1990 Oct:(259):111-3.

Abstract

Fixation of the osteotomy site in the proximal femur is technically demanding. A new system, which includes cannulated chisels and a cannulated one-piece plate that can be inserted over a guide wire, is suggested. The new system simplifies the procedure and provides stable fixation.
