Resulting degrees of FAV measured by Murphy’s method do not always correspond to the degrees that had been planned after an FDO. The hypothesis of this study is that the femur rotation axis and the osteotomy rotation axis do not coincide. Three-dimensional (3D) technology is used to objectify the discrepancy between these two axes and to find solutions so that the two axes can coincide.
