Video Summary

The video demonstrates varus and valgus correct osteotomy indications and tips and tricks. Dr. Brett Frisch from Sydney, Australia shares his expertise on planning and executing successful osteotomies. The indications for an osteotomy vary from isolated arthrosis to instability and ACL ruptures. Planning plays a crucial role, with 3D planning being more effective than 2D techniques. The video also emphasizes the importance of not breaking the hinge during the procedure. Proper hinge placement, sufficient release of the medial collateral ligament, and completing the osteotomy are key factors to avoid complications. The video concludes by recommending solid fixation using low-profile locking plates and cortico-cancellous allografts for a stable outcome.<br />Credits: Dr. Brett Frisch from Sydney, Australia.
