Abstract
Objective: describing the evolution of rehabilitation in a 47-year-old patient operated on knee arthroscopy and varus osteotomy of the left distal femur due to grade III gonarthrosis secondary to valgus angular disease, she underwent both surgical procedures in a single time. This fact allows a single rehabilitation process to be carried out for the 2 diseases, achieving an earlier functional recovery that if it had been operated in 2 times.
