Correction of tibial deformity in Paget’s disease using the Taylor spatial frame



Download PDF

Abstract

A 64-year-old man presented with a severe deformity of the tibia caused by Paget’s disease and osteoarthritis of the ipsilateral knee. Total knee replacement required preliminary correction of the tibial deformity. This was successfully achieved by tibial osteotomy followed by distraction osteogenesis using the Taylor spatial frame. The subsequent knee replacement was successful, with no recurrence of deformity.
