Are You a High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO) Candidate?

Find Out If Joint-Preserving Surgery is Right for You!

Who Needs High Tibial Osteotomy?

High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO) is a specialized joint-preserving surgery designed to correct knee alignment and relieve pain caused by unicompartmental osteoarthritis or deformities like bow-legged (varus) or knock-kneed (valgus) conditions.

If you want to stay active without undergoing total knee replacement, HTO may be the ideal option!

Benefits of Choosing High Tibial Osteotomy

  • Delays or Avoids Total Knee Replacement
  • Restores Proper Knee Alignment
  • Reduces Pain & Improves Mobility
  • Ideal for Active Individuals
Signs That You May Be a Good Candidate
  • Knee Pain on One Side – Pain and stiffness primarily on the inner (medial) or outer (lateral) side of the knee.
  • Early-Stage Osteoarthritis – Joint damage is localized to one side, while the other remains healthy.
  • Knee Malalignment (Bow-Legged or Knock-Kneed) – Your legs appear curved due to uneven weight distribution.
  • Younger, Active Individual (Below 60 Years) – You lead an active lifestyle and want to delay joint replacement.
  • Good Knee Range of Motion – You can still bend and straighten your knee properly.
  • No Severe Arthritis in the Entire Joint – HTO is ideal when cartilage loss is limited to one compartment.
Who is NOT a Good Candidate for HTO?
  • Advanced Osteoarthritis Affecting the Entire Knee – If the damage is widespread, total knee replacement may be a better option.
  • Severe Stiffness or Limited Knee Motion – HTO works best when knee flexibility is still maintained.
  • Obesity (BMI >35) – Excess weight can impact the healing process and long-term results.
  • Rheumatoid Arthritis or Inflammatory Joint Disease – These conditions may require different treatment approaches.
  • Ligament Instability or Severe Cartilage Loss – If your ACL, PCL, or cartilage is significantly damaged, HTO may not be effective.
