Distal Femoral Osteotomy (DFO)

The Arthrex OrthoLine Distal Femoral Osteotomy (DFO) Plate System includes a range of sizes from broad, short 1.6 mm, to 3.5 mm. Each plate size is anatomically contoured to mimic the anatomy for patients within the given size range. The plate includes distal screw trajectories to avoid the femoral trochlea and intercondylar notch. Proximal screw trajectories align with the bone stock of the diaphyseal bone. The plate is designed to minimize soft-tissue irritation. The DFO plate includes a suture hole, a unique feature which allows additional patellar stabilization by securing a suture strand from the parapatellar ligament to the suture hole within the plate.
