CORRECT


The correct answer is:

TRUE:

The femoral osteotomy would correct for the internal rotation of the left femur and than the tibia could be corrected through a proximal osteotomy to correct both the valgus and the external rotation. The femur should be done first because the limb length can than be equalized by removing bone from the tibia.
