A mathematically directed osteotomy (MDO) is a surgical planning technique for correcting long bone deformities. Using a mathematically derived osteotomy plane, the single-cut correction simultaneously addresses angular deformity, axial malrotation, and minor shortening. This review describes an MDO’s indications for use, defines its input and output variables, includes the required graphs for osteotomy planning, and provides intraoperative tips and tricks for successful execution. Finally, the authors present a digital MDO calculator to simplify the complex computations and allow for more precise planning.
