During the High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO) Surgery

Step-by-Step Guide to the Procedure for Correcting Knee Alignment

Overview of High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO)

High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO) is a joint-preserving surgery designed to realign the knee joint, reducing stress on the damaged area and delaying or preventing the need for a total knee replacement. This procedure is particularly effective for patients with early-stage osteoarthritis affecting only one side of the knee.

During the surgery, the tibia (shinbone) is carefully reshaped and repositioned to correct alignment and improve weight distribution across the knee.

What Happens Immediately After Surgery?

  • Monitored Recovery
  • Pain Management
  • Early Mobilization
  • Hospital Stay

Step-by-Step Procedure of HTO

Anesthesia & Patient Preparation
  • The patient is administered regional (spinal/epidural) or general anesthesia to ensure a pain-free experience.
  • The surgical area is sterilized, and the patient is positioned for optimal access to the knee joint.
Making the Surgical Incision & Bone Access
  • A small incision is made on the upper part of the shinbone (tibia).
  • The surgeon carefully exposes the bone while protecting nearby soft tissues.
Cutting & Realigning the Tibia
  • A controlled wedge-shaped cut (osteotomy) is made in the tibia at the precise angle required for correction.
  • The bone is then gently opened or closed depending on whether the patient needs valgus (inward) or varus (outward) correction.
  • This redistributes body weight more evenly across the knee joint, relieving pain and preventing further damage.
