Abstract
Correction of bilateral tibial deformity (varus and external rotation) was accomplished with a fixator-assisted acute correction of deformity. Varus was corrected through a proximal tibial osteotomy and rotation was corrected through a supramalleolar osteotomy. The fixator-assisted technique and the percutaneous plating were both accurate and required minimal incision.
