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.
