This Xray is not at all give information about palnning of osteotomy. You need Standing scanogram of both lower limb. Fibular osteotomy is still experimental and not supported by evidence based medicine , nor we find any literature evidence as of now . there r estblished procedures but scano gram and clinical evaluation is mst.
