Abstract
Opening and closing wedge osteotomy is a frequent procedure in orthopedics. Interestingly, the technique did not considerably change over the years. In this paper, we would like to introduce a new technique to make the cut easier and to decrease the fracture at the opposite cortex. Our proposal is that by making a juxtacortical drill hole on the opposite side and performing the osteotomy after, decreases the stress on the cortex therefore making it safer and easier to open or close. We demonstrate our idea through three cases.
