Dome osteotomy is a specialized procedure used to correct deformities around the knee or hip that disturb alignment and load bearing. At the practice of Dr Pranjal Kodkani in Mumbai, people often arrive with uneven limb loading, bow legs or knock knees, and persistent joint pain that does not respond to routine treatments. It can be physically tiring and emotionally frustrating too.
This surgery reshapes the bone in a dome-like arc to achieve a controlled correction of alignment. The goal is to distribute weight more evenly across the joint surface and protect cartilage from early wear. In suitable patients, dome osteotomy can delay or even prevent the need for joint replacement by preserving natural structures.
Recovery involves planned physiotherapy, gait training, and progressive strengthening. As alignment improves, many patients notice that movement feels more balanced and comfortable. If malalignment has been causing chronic knee or hip discomfort, understanding corrective options becomes very important. Book an appointment with Dr Pranjal Kodkani in Mumbai and explore whether dome osteotomy could benefit you.
