High Tibial Osteotomy: Joint-Preserving Solution for Knee Osteoarthritis
.
High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO) is a surgical procedure that can relieve knee osteoarthritis symptoms, especially when it affects only one side of the knee. 🦵 What is HTO? HTO involves cutting and reshaping the upper part of the tibia (shin bone) to redistribute weight away from the damaged part of the knee, helping relieve pain and slow down the #osteoarthritis progression.
.
🎯 Who's it for?
#HighTibialOsteotomy is ideal for younger, active patients (typically less than 60) with osteoarthritis on just one side of the knee. It's particularly beneficial for those who want to maintain an active lifestyle and potentially delay or avoid total knee replacement. Benefits of HTO can include:
• Preserves your natural knee joint
• Reduces pain + improves function
• Allow return to higher-impact activities
• Can delay the need for #kneereplacement by 10+ years
.
🏥 There are (2) main types of HTO: opening wedge and closing wedge. Both aim to correct the alignment of your leg and shift weight to the healthier part of your knee. The surgery typically takes 1-2 hrs, sometimes followed by a short hospital. While full recovery can take several months, many patients start walking with crutches within days of surgery. Physical therapy plays a crucial role in regaining strength and mobility. Studies show that HTO can provide good to excellent results in 75-87% of patients at 5 yrs post-surgery, with many enjoying pain relief and improved function for 10 yrs or more. Every patient is unique, and what works for one may not work for another. Always consult with a qualified healthcare professional to determine the best treatment plan for your specific needs. #tibialosteotomy #kneearthritis
