Abstract
This paper presents a novel method for defining an osteotomy that can be used to represent all types of osteotomy procedures. In essence, we model an osteotomy as a lower-pair mechanical joint to derive the kinematic geometry of the osteotomy. This method was implemented using a commercially available animation software suite in order to simulate a variety of osteotomy procedures. Two osteotomy procedures are presented for a femoral malunion in order to demonstrate the advantages of our kinematic model in developing optimal osteotomy plans. The benefits of this kinematic model include the ability to evaluate the effects of various kinds of osteotomy and the elimination of potentially error-prone radiographic assessment of deformities.
