What is High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO)?

High Tibial Osteotomy is a surgical procedure that realigns the knee joint by reshaping the upper tibia (shinbone). This shifts weight away from the damaged portion of the knee to a healthier area.

Key Benefits:

Pain relief without replacing the joint

Improved knee function

Slows arthritis progression

Preserves natural joint movement

Who Can Benefit from HTO?

Early to moderate knee arthritis

Pain on the inner (medial) side of the knee

Bow legs (varus deformity) or knock knees (valgus deformity)

Active lifestyle and want to delay knee replacement

How Does HTO Work?

In arthritis with malalignment, uneven pressure damages one side of the knee faster.

Procedure Overview:

A controlled cut is made in the upper tibia

Open wedge technique (adding a wedge)

Closed wedge technique (removing a wedge)

The knee’s weight-bearing axis is corrected

Result:

Reduced stress on damaged cartilage
Improved mobility
Long-term joint preservation
