Fig. 6.

Lateral view of the knee. Femoral epicondylar osteotomy (FE) is a safe distance from the common peroneal nerve (PN). Fibular head (FH) osteotomy also mobilises the distal biceps femoris insertions but the PN must be secured. Gerdy’s tubercle osteotomy (GT) or tibial tuberosity osteotomy (TT) are additional, but rarely indicated, options. LCL, lateral collateral ligament; PLT, popliteus tendon; IT, iliotibial band; PT, patellar tendon. Images created with Essential Anatomy 5, 3D4 Medical.com
