Knee Osteotomies in Islamabad: 

Knee Osteotomy is a process of trimming and reshaping the tibia or femur in the knee to alleviate strain and align it with the leg properly. It helps in fixing malformations and restoring normal movements in the knee joint, along with early arthritis, bow legs, knock knees, or uneven joint wear.

Knee preservation treatment not only helps with maintaining weight on the inner and outer parts of the knee, but it can also help prevent the requirement for a knee replacement surgery for a certain period.

Types of Knee Osteotomies:

  • High Tibial Osteotomy(HTO):

In this therapy, the upper piece of the shin bone is altered to correct bow-legged alignment.

  • Distal Femoral Osteotomy(DFO)

The approach involves trimming the lower part of the thigh bone to restore the knock-knees in the joint.

  • Tibial Tubercle Osteotomy(TTO):

It is a surgical fracture and repositioning of the bony prominence of the tibial tubercle to improve the stability of the kneecap.

Perks of Undergoing Knee Joint Realignment Surgery:

The benefits that the surgery provides are;

  • Corrects the poor Knee Orientation
  • Preserves the knee anatomy 
  • Holds the demand for a joint substitute 
  • Transfer the load to the healthier spot
  • Relieves pain and soreness
  • Provides better mobility and functionality 
  • Gives an active lifestyle to patients 

Functional Improvement After Knee Alignment Surgery:

Single surgical knee Osteotomy helps in alleviating pain and realigning the leg in 2-6 weeks post-surgery. You may be advised to attend 2-3 physiotherapy sessions a week for at least 6-8 weeks. The complete return to the routine active lifestyle will be after 3-6 months.

Eligibility for Joint Preservation Knee Surgery:

The eligible candidates for this therapy are the ones who have;

  • Only one side of the knee is damaged 
  • Suffering from continuous pain 
  • Own stronger bones 
  • Possess bow legs or knock knees 
  • Does not have severe ligament impairment
  • Have good general and knee health 

Procedure For Knee Osteotomy:

The procedural steps for a knee osteotomy are represented as;

  • Diagnosis & Assessment:

The extent of the injury is identified to see which specific areas are affected. Digital templating is utilized for determining the degree of realignment needed.

  • Anaesthesia:

General or spinal anesthesia is administered to ensure a comfortable procedure.

  • Incision and Exposure:

An opening is done above the knee to get the proper visualization of the malformation.

  • Bone Cutting (Osteotomy):

The physician crops either the tibia (shin bone) for high tibial osteotomy or the femur (thigh bone) for distal femoral osteotomy.

Either a gap is created, or a tiny segment is withdrawn to realign the knee joint.

  • Realignment and Fixation:

Once the desired angle is achieved, the bone is stabilised with the help of metal plates, screws, or staples to hold it in place while it heals.

  • Bone Grafting (if needed):

A bone tissue(either synthetic or from your own body) may be utilized to fill the gap formed during realignment.

  • Closure:

The surgical area is carefully sealed with stitches, and a hygienic bandage is used.

Cautions to be followed after the Surgery:

  • Take intravenous painkillers 
  • Keep the treated site hygienic 
  • Go for post-surgical checkups
  • Start physiotherapy immediately after therapy
  • Use Crutches and walkers 
  • No load-bearing for 4-6 weeks
  • Keep a keen eye for unusual signs
  • Use compression garments for puffiness

Expenses Involved in Knee Correction Surgery:

On average, the procedure expense may range from 149,999 PKR- 299,999 PKR. This estimate can vary significantly based on several factors and the addition of optional services. Your surgeon or physiotherapist can guide you regarding the cost of the process needed for the surgery.
