Osteotomy: Personalized Knee Axis Correction
An osteotomy, which is an incision or opening in a bone, is an excellent solution for restoring deformities of the knee shaft. These deformities often cause severe pain, cartilage wear and tear or even dislocation of the patella, especially in cases of rotational errors or deviations such as rheobia or claudication.
Who benefits from Osteotomy
The method is for patients with a genetic deviation or poorly porous fractures that have led to the wrong loading axis in the knee. Osteotomy allows the axis to be repositioned to the correct load centre, reducing stress on the meniscus and cartilage, thus delaying the progression of arthritis.
It is an ideal treatment for younger patients, as it can delay or prevent the need for arthroplasty
Benefits and Long-Term Results
Modern corrective osteotomies have a success rate of 96%, according to international studies. They offer guaranteed results for at least a decade and protect the knee from further damage. They are the optimal solution for delaying arthritis, significantly prolonging the health of the joint.
Recent Advances
The unsuccessful application of the method in the past was attributed to poor accuracy in correcting the axis after surgery. Today, detailed measurement and a personalized approach ensure that osteotomy offers highly stable and long-lasting results.
