How High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO) is performed
High tibial osteotomy involves osteotomy at the proximal tibia and adjusting the angle to transfer weight-bearing from the diseased compartment to a relatively healthy area. A common approach is to complete osteotomy and correction under image guidance and with the aid of guiding tools, fix it with steel plate screws, and fill it with bone graft or bone substitute material if necessary. Postoperative monitoring includes pain, bleeding, and bone segment stability, with sequential restoration of joint movement and gradual weight-bearing, with the goal of reducing pain and optimizing alignment. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
