How Knee Osteotomy (HTO/DFO) is performed
This procedure addresses abnormal stress caused by genu valgum. High tibial or distal femoral osteotomy can be selected, with biplanar correction if necessary. Osteotomy is usually performed under fluoroscopy or navigation guidance, and the alignment is adjusted by opening or closing wedge, and stabilized with internal fixation such as plates and screws. Soft tissue tension and lower limb alignment will be assessed during the operation. Postoperative monitoring includes pain, bleeding, and risk of thrombosis, with gradual recovery of weight-bearing and rehabilitation. The goal is to improve alignment and function. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocol.
