More about Treatment

A high tibial osteotomy is a surgical procedure that realigns the knee joint. For some patients who have knee arthritis, this surgery can delay or prevent the need for a partial or total knee replacement by preserving damaged joint tissue.

 

DIAGNOSIS:

The predominant indication is lower limb osseous malalignment in younger patients who have medial tibiofemoral joint pain.
