Knee Osteotomies

What is Knee Osteotomy?

Knee osteotomy is a joint-preserving surgical procedure performed to relieve knee pain caused by early-stage arthritis or uneven weight distribution across the knee joint. Instead of replacing the knee, this procedure realigns the bones to shift body weight away from the damaged part of the knee, helping reduce pain and slow down joint degeneration.

Who is an Ideal Candidate?

  • Patients with early-stage knee arthritis
  • Pain limited to one side of the knee (inner or outer)
  • Younger or active individuals
  • Good knee range of motion
  • Those not yet ready for total knee replacement

Types of Knee Osteotomy

  • High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO): Corrects bow-leg deformity by realigning the tibia
  • Distal Femoral Osteotomy (DFO): Used when deformity is in the femur
  • Closing or Opening Wedge Osteotomy: Based on correction needed

Benefits of Knee Osteotomy

  • Preserves the natural knee joint
  • Reduces pain and improves function
  • Delays or avoids knee replacement surgery
  • Allows return to active lifestyle
  • Improves joint alignment and stability

Procedure & Recovery

The surgery involves precise bone cutting and realignment, secured with plates or screws. Post-surgery, patients follow a structured rehabilitation program. Weight-bearing is gradually increased, and most patients resume normal activities within a few months.
