Osteotomy

Wedge Osteotomy - A "Wedge" is a resorbable implant that can be inserted in the upper tibia to correct malalignment of the knee (i.e. bow leg). This bow leg correction wedge is designed to hold the bones apart until healing can occur. The bow leg correction wedge is designed to replace the current procedure of surgical placement of metal plates and screws that are normally used to surgically treat this condition. This study assesses the safety and effectiveness of this device.
