Understanding Knee Osteotomy • Knee osteotomy is a surgical procedure aimed at realigning the knee joint to relieve pain caused by arthritis, knee deformities, or joint degeneration. • Commonly used in patients with knee pain who are not yet candidates for a full knee replacement treatment. • The procedure involves cutting and repositioning the bones around the knee to shift the weight away from the damaged area.

When Is Knee Osteotomy Recommended? • Common Indications: • Medial or lateral knee arthritis • Knee deformities (such as bow-legged or knock-knee) • In young, active individuals who are not ready for a knee replacement • Benefits: • Relieves pressure on the damaged part of the knee • Can delay the need for a full knee replacement by years • Helps improve mobility and reduce pain

  4. How Knee Osteotomy Is Performed • The surgeon makes precise cuts in the bone near the knee joint, then repositions the bone to shift weight to a healthier area. • Post-operative care: • Use of a brace or support for a few weeks • Gradual weight-bearing as healing progresses • Physical therapy to restore mobility and strength

  5. Recovery and Long-term Benefits of Knee Osteotomy Recovery Timeline: • Typically, patients can return to regular activities in 4-6 months after surgery. • Early recovery may involve limited weight-bearing and physical therapy.
