Treatment
High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO)
A high tibial osteotomy (HTO) is a surgical procedure that involves cutting and reshaping the upper portion of the tibia (shinbone) just below the knee joint. It is commonly performed to correct mal-alignment of the lower limb with excess bowing (inward deviation) of the limb which increases the risk of development of degeneration and subsequent arthritis of the knee.
Treatment
Distal Femur Osteotomy (DFO)
A distal femur osteotomy is a surgical procedure that involves cutting and reshaping the lower part of the thigh bone (femur) just above the knee joint. It is performed to correct knee deformities or abnormal alignment where the deformity is arising from the lower end of the femur.
This surgery may be done as a stand-alone procedure or combined with arthroscopic (key hole) surgeries of the meniscus or the cartilage as per the need of the patient.
