These have lots of big words

• High Tibial Osteotomy from Wheeless' Textbook of Orthopaedics A more concise statement of the procedure, with lots of cross-linked medical terms. You can really get lost in here.
• Hemicallotasis: A New Procedure for Arthritic Knees The actual procedeure is described here step by step. You may need to set up an account at Medscape.com to view this document.
