Abstract
The authors present three cases of high-level athletes with successful return to competitive collegiate athletics following distal femoral osteotomy for knee lateral compartment overload.
Distal femoral varus osteotomy (DFO) is used to treat valgus knee malalignment and to offload the lateral knee compartment in the setting of symptomatic cartilage or meniscus pathology. DFO can be considered a viable treatment for collegiate athletes, with satisfactory outcomes and ability to return to sport participation at pre-injury functional levels.
