At KS Ortho Care, we specialize in advanced knee preservation surgeries like High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO), designed to relieve knee pain, correct deformities, and delay or avoid total knee replacement.
Our goal is to help you stay active and enjoy a pain-free lifestyle with your natural knee joint intact.
High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO) is a joint-preserving knee surgery performed to realign the knee joint by shifting weight from the damaged area to a healthier portion of the knee.
This is particularly helpful for patients suffering from:
Early knee osteoarthritis
Cartilage wear on one side of the knee
Knee deformities like bow legs (varus) or knock knees (valgus)
Unlike knee replacement, HTO keeps your natural knee joint intact, making it ideal for younger, active patients.
You may be a good candidate for High Tibial Osteotomy if:
You have early to moderate osteoarthritis affecting one side of the knee
You are below 55 years of age and want to avoid joint replacement
You have knee deformity causing uneven weight distribution
You lead an active lifestyle and wish to continue sports or high-impact activities
The surgery involves reshaping the tibia (shinbone) to change the alignment of your knee joint:
Assessment & Planning – Detailed X-rays, CT, or MRI scans to evaluate the damage
Precise Bone Cutting – A small wedge of bone is either removed or added to correct alignment
Fixation with Plates & Screws – The tibia is stabilized for proper healing
Rehabilitation & Recovery – Guided physiotherapy for restoring strength and motion
By shifting body weight away from the damaged cartilage, HTO reduces pain, improves function, and delays arthritis progression.
Preserves Your Natural Knee Joint – No artificial implant needed
Delays or Avoids Total Knee Replacement
Minimally Invasive Techniques for faster recovery
Ideal for Younger, Active Patients
Personalized Care Plans designed by experienced knee specialists
Recovery after HTO depends on your age, activity level, and overall health, but at KS Ortho Care, we ensure fast and safe healing with:
Early mobilization within a few days of surgery
Physiotherapy programs to regain strength and flexibility
Gradual return to walking, sports, and daily activities
Continuous follow-ups for long-term knee health
Typical recovery timeline:
Hospital stay: 2–3 days
Walking with support: 2–4 weeks
Return to work: 6–8 weeks
Sports & heavy activities: 4–6 months
