Quote from: Thehighest on August 26, 2021, 04:53:45 PMI dont think so, Kilohan had that issue after external tibial lengthening and he could walk well because fibula doesnt affect Weight bearing.

We see often that the fibula osteotomy is done on the distal site of the fibula, is it possible to do the fibula osteotomy on the proximal site of the fibula?
