Knee osteotomy is a joint-preserving orthopaedic procedure designed to realign the knee and relieve pressure from damaged cartilage. It is commonly recommended for patients with early-stage arthritis or knee deformities who wish to delay joint replacement surgery.
Dr. Nishant Bhatia performs knee osteotomy using precise planning and modern surgical techniques to restore knee alignment, reduce pain, and improve long-term joint function.
Types of Knee Osteotomy Performed:
- High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO)
- Distal Femoral Osteotomy (DFO)
- Medial Opening Wedge Osteotomy
- Lateral Closing Wedge Osteotomy
Who May Benefit from Knee Osteotomy?
- Localized knee pain during physical activity
- Bow-legged or knock-knee alignment
- Early arthritis affecting one side of the knee
- Good joint preservation potential on imaging studies
The goal of knee osteotomy is to preserve the natural knee joint and delay the need for total knee replacement. Patients receive personalized care from diagnosis through rehabilitation to ensure safe recovery and lasting results.
If you are experiencing chronic knee pain or early arthritis, consult Dr. Nishant Bhatia to determine whether knee osteotomy is the right treatment option for you.
