  • Title: Deformity planning for frontal and sagittal plane corrective osteotomies.
    Author: Paley D, Herzenberg JE, Tetsworth K, McKie J, Bhave A.
    Journal: Orthop Clin North Am; 1994 Jul; 25(3):425-65. PubMed ID: 8028886.
    Abstract:
    The authors have developed a universal system of geometric deformity planning based on the mechanical or anatomic axes. The place where the axes intersect is the center of rotation angulation (CORA) of a deformity. Osteotomy level and type should be considered relative to the CORA to avoid creating secondary deformities. This type of planning is applicable to both frontal and sagittal plane deformities.
