Abstract
Corrections of deformities in adults traditionally have been performed with open exposure of the lesions, precise bone cuts, rigid plate fixation, and delayed weightbearing. By obtaining a good pre-operative evaluation, and m eticulously planning each step of the corrective sequence, good technical r esults and improved functional capabilities can be attained using percutane ous techniques.
