Biapical femoral deformities are challenging to treat. In order to correct concomitant metaphyseal and diaphyseal deformities of the femur, the authors propose a double femoral controlled osteotomy with combined internal fixation, consisting of a Puddu plate and an intramedullary nail. The method was described in two patients. Results were analyzed using a visual analog scale (VAS), the Lysholm score, and SF-36. No complications were found. Complete consolidation of the osteotomies and radiographic alignment correction were achieved. Results were obtained with a minimum follow-up of 66 months. Both patients had improved for pain (VAS from 60 to 40 and from 50 to 20 at reassessment), function (Lysholm score from 78 to 93 and from 55 to 73) and quality of life (SF-36, both mental - from 40.7 to 57.1 in case one and from 24.7 to 59.7 in case two - and physical - from 27.7 to 45.6 and from 28.2 to 46.8). The authors have found that this technique is a reliable, accurate, and reproducible solution for biapical deformities of the femur.
