Bow leg correction while lengthening
« on: December 04, 2014, 01:26:47 AM »
Do you still need a tibial osectomy to fix the bow legs in addition to the lengthening or did the doctors manage to correct it just using the frames.

If you know how they did it and can explain it would be greatly appreciated.

It can be corrected just with frames.  You do it by lengthening the inner rods more than the outer rods.
