ABSTRACT
CASE We present 2 cases demonstrating the management of coronal malalignment with an existing total knee arthroplasty using opening wedge distal femur osteotomy. The mechanical axis was corrected, and the primary total knee implants were maintained. Patients resumed full activity 3 to 4 months after surgery.

CONCLUSION:

In certain cases, opening wedge distal femoral osteotomy is an option to correct coronal malalignment with an existing total knee arthroplasty without revising the implant.
