Abstract The research described in this thesis is on the development, design, implementation and testing of new techniques for corrective osteotomy of the distal radius. The goal of this thesis is threefold. At first, possible pitfalls of conventional corrective osteotomy surgery were determined and quantified (Part I). In addition, 3D planning methods (Part II) and new surgical techniques (Part III) were investigated that assist the surgeon in restoring the anatomy of the wrist more accurately.
