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 preoperative evaluation, and meticulously planning each step of the corrective sequence, good technical results and improved functional capabilities can be attained using percutaneous techniques.
