If you suffer from knee arthritis, particularly in the inner compartment of the knee, high tibial osteotomy (HTO) could be a life-changing procedure. HTO realigns the knee joint to shift weight from the damaged part of the knee to the healthier side, providing relief from pain and improving function. Dr. Pranjal Kodkani in Mumbai specializes in HTO, offering patients a chance to avoid or delay knee replacement surgery.
HTO is particularly beneficial for younger patients who want to preserve their knee joint and avoid the long recovery times associated with knee replacements. The procedure involves cutting and repositioning the tibia (shinbone) to correct the alignment of the knee. This helps to reduce pressure on the damaged area, relieve pain, and restore mobility.
With proper rehabilitation, most patients experience significant improvement in knee function and pain relief after high tibial osteotomy. If you’re suffering from knee arthritis and are looking for a long-term solution, HTO may be the right choice for you.
Contact Dr. Pranjal Kodkani to discuss whether high tibial osteotomy is a suitable option for your knee arthritis and how it can help you maintain an active lifestyle.
