Corrective osteotomy according to Albee

History of origin

Albee osteotomy is called a corrective osteotomy. This method was proposed by Dr. Garth Albee in 1961 at the orthopedic center in Toronto. For more than 50 years, the Albee corrective osteotome has been one of the most popular methods of treating deformities of the lower extremities and other systems, and the surgeon Garth Albee himself, the author of this technology, received the title “Father of Modern Orthopedics.” He worked on developments to improve people, carrying out radical manipulations with great success. All of his professional activities are focused on the development of new technologies to help people. This category includes: osteotomies, arthroscopy, proprioceptive correction for spinal defects, botulinum therapy.

_Quote from Dr. Albee:_

“The most common causes of knee valgus include subluxation (dysplasia) of the femoral condyle, also known as pineal splay.”
