There are no reports in the current literature regarding the effect of a change in the sagittal plane at the distal femur on alignment, stability, and biomechanics of the knee. This case report shows that genu recurvatum with physiological posterior tibial slope can be successfully treated with anterior femoral flexion osteotomy. Hyperextension was completely eliminated at the follow-up examination after hardware removal after 12 months.
