Osteotomy surgery restores the normal alignment of the knee, removing pressure on the arthritic or injured area of the knee as a result. An osteotomy can usually significantly delay the need for knee replacement surgery, and in many instances, remove the need for a knee replacement altogether. The greatly reduced pain patients feel after treatment often means they can return to living normal lifestyles soon after surgery. This can be particularly beneficial to active younger and older patients, including those who play sport regularly. Knee osteotomy or knee realignment surgery is carried out on patients experiencing a range of knee conditions, including arthritis and sports-related injuries. Bow-legged – this can result in damage from arthritis to the inner side of the knee joint. Alignment surgery is known as ‘high tibial osteotomy’ where the top part of the shin bone is realigned. Around 80% of Adrian’s realignment procedures are for bow-legged patients. Knock-kneed – this can result in damage from arthritis to the outer side of the knee joint. Alignment surgery is known as ‘femoral osteotomy’ where the bottom part of the thigh bone is realigned.
