摘要：
A method of changing a bone angle includes creating an osteotomy between a first portion and a second portion of a tibia of a patient； creating a cavity in the tibia by removing bone material along an axis extending in a substantially longitudinal direction from a first point at the tibial plateau to a second point； placing a non-invasively adjustable implant into the cavity, the non-invasively adjustable implant comprising an adjustable actuator having an outer housing and an inner shaft, telescopically disposed in the outer housing, and a driving element configured to be remotely operable to telescopically displace the inner shaft in relation to the outer housing； coupling one of the outer housing or the inner shaft to the first portion of the tibia； coupling the other of the outer housing or the inner shaft to the second portion of the tibia； and remotely operating the driving element to telescopically displace the inner shaft in relation to the outer housing, thus changing an angle between the first portion and second portion of the tibia.
