Before the High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO) Surgery

Essential Preparations for a Successful Knee Realignment Surgery

Understanding High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO)

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

Preparing properly for your HTO surgery ensures a smoother experience, faster recovery, and long-term success.

Pre-Surgery Evaluation & Medical Tests

  • Medical History Review
  • Physical Examination
  • Imaging Tests (X-rays, MRI, CT Scan)
  • Blood Tests & Other Lab Work
Pre-Surgery Preparations & Lifestyle Adjustments
  • Strengthen Your Muscles – Doing quadriceps & hamstring exercises can help speed up post-surgery recovery.
  • Maintain a Healthy Weight – Reducing excess weight helps minimize strain on your knee after surgery.
  • Quit Smoking & Limit Alcohol – Smoking slows healing, while alcohol can interfere with medications.
  • Plan for Mobility Assistance – Arrange for a walker or crutches to assist in walking after surgery.
  • Home Preparation – Remove tripping hazards, ensure easy access to essentials, and set up a comfortable recovery area.
Medications & Dietary Guidelines
  • Stop Certain Medications – Blood thinners (aspirin, ibuprofen), supplements (fish oil, vitamin E) may need to be discontinued.
  • Eat a Nutritious Diet – A balanced intake of protein, vitamins, and minerals aids in faster healing.
  • Stay Hydrated – Proper hydration is essential for a smooth surgery and recovery.
  • Dr. Abhinav Mishra will provide a personalized list of medications to take or avoid before surgery.
