The authors describe a modification of the original technique of Blaimont and Maquet. Cylindrical osteotomy allows correction of deformity in the frontal plane (genu varum or valgum) with forward displacement of the tibial tuberosity. The technique and instruments are described. The osteotomy is fixed by screws and joint mobilisation is begun after two weeks. Thirty patients have been operated on. The results are described as satisfactory.
