Osteotomy around the Knee

Osteotomy around the knee aims to correct varus (bow leg) or valgus (knock knee) deformities by realigning the bones of the lower limb. This may involve cutting and repositioning the tibia or femur to restore proper joint alignment.

Benefits of
Procedure

1
Restored Joint Alignment

By correcting malalignment, knee osteotomy alleviates abnormal stresses on the joint surfaces, reducing pain and delaying joint degeneration.

2
Improved Function

Many patients experience improved knee function and stability following osteotomy, allowing for a return to activities with reduced pain and enhanced mobility.

3
Potential for Delayed Arthritis Progression

Knee osteotomy may slow the progression of osteoarthritis by redistributing forces within the joint and preserving healthy cartilage.

Protected Weight-Bearing

Patients are typically instructed to limit weight-bearing on the operated leg initially to facilitate bone healing.

Rehabilitation Protocol

Physical therapy focuses on strengthening the quadriceps and hamstring muscles, improving joint range of motion, and restoring functional activities.

Gradual Resumption of Activities

Patients gradually increase activity levels under the guidance of their healthcare provider, with a gradual return to sports or other high-impact activities.
