Abstract

Multiple case series have reported outcomes of the AMZ procedures. Despite the heterogeneity in outcome measurements, results demonstrate high percentages of excellent and good results and improvements in objective, subjective and functional measures. Attention to details related to surgical planning and properly managing patient expectations is most likely to lead to good or excellent results. Newer techniques (i.e., the T3 system) allow the surgeon to objectively determine the inclination of the osteotomy to properly restore patellofemoral mechanics based upon the preoperative planning.
