Fig. 3. Wedge resection and stabilization. (A) The wedge is removed, and the medial far cortex is then carefully decorticated using a sharp electric saw or an osteotome. A valgus force is applied slowly to the extremity until the proximal and distal osteotomy surfaces are firmly attached. (B) Next, the osteotomy site is rigidly fixed using a Miniplate staple (U&I Co.) of an appropriate size.
