Knee RealignmentSurgeries
Structural correction to offload damaged areas of the knee.
Knee Realignment Surgeries
Knee Realignment Surgeries, specifically High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO) and Distal Femoral Osteotomy (DFO), are powerful joint preservation procedures. They involve making a controlled cut in the bone (either the shin or thigh bone) to subtly change its angle. This acts like 'rotating the tires' on a car—shifting the body's weight away from the arthritic, painful side of the knee and transferring it onto the healthy cartilage. Dr. Ravi Teja uses precise preoperative 3D planning to ensure exact mechanical axis correction, eliminating pain and extending the lifespan of the natural knee by years or even decades.
Surgical Process
Axis Measurement
Calculations based on specialized full-length standing X-rays.
Precision Osteotomy
Creating a highly controlled opening or closing bone wedge to correct the alignment.
Rigid Fixation
Securing the new bone position with high-strength, low-profile titanium plates.
Patient Care
Recovery Roadmap
Patients are initially protected with crutches to allow the osteotomy site to heal, usually for 6-8 weeks. Physical therapy focuses on regaining strength and range of motion. Once the bone is fully healed, patients can return to unrestricted activities, including running and heavy lifting.
Who Needs This Procedure?
Active patients with arthritis isolated to the inner or outer compartment
Individuals with noticeable 'bow-legged' or 'knock-kneed' deformities
Younger patients wishing to delay a partial or total knee replacement
Patients needing a stable alignment foundation before a meniscus transplant
