Procedures: Open Wedge Osteotomy

Joint-Preserving Surgery for Knee Alignment & Pain Relief

What is Open Wedge Osteotomy?

Open Wedge Osteotomy is a surgical procedure designed to realign the knee joint by creating a controlled cut in the tibia (shinbone) and gradually opening it to correct misalignment. A bone graft or spacer is inserted to maintain the gap, allowing the knee joint to bear weight more evenly.

Purpose: Reduces pressure on the damaged knee compartment and delays the need for total knee replacement (TKR).
Ideal for: Patients with medial compartment osteoarthritis, knee malalignment (bow-legged deformity), and those seeking an alternative to knee replacement.

Who Needs Open Wedge Osteotomy?

  • Medial Knee Osteoarthritis
  • Varus Deformity (Bow-Legged Alignment)
  • Knee Instability
  • Active Lifestyle

Benefits of Open Wedge Osteotomy

JJoint Preservationoint Preservation Instead of Replacement
  • Delays or eliminates the need for total knee replacement.
  • Maintains natural knee movement.
Pain Relief & Function Restoration
  • Reduces pain caused by arthritis or misalignment.
  • Improves mobility and quality of life.
Minimally Invasive Alternative
  • Smaller incisions compared to total knee replacement.
  • Lower risk of complications and faster recovery.

Benefits of Open Wedge Osteotomy

Pre-Surgical Preparation
  • Diagnostic Tests: X-rays, MRI, and CT scans to assess knee alignment.
  • Medical Evaluation: Health assessment to ensure fitness for surgery.
  • Anesthesia: Spinal or general anesthesia is administered for comfort.
Surgical Steps
  • Incision & Bone Cutting: A small incision is made over the tibia, and a precise cut is created in the shinbone.
  • Wedge Opening: The cut is carefully expanded to shift the knee alignment.
  • Bone Graft Placement: A bone graft or special plate is inserted to maintain the space.
  • Fixation: Screws and a titanium plate secure the bone in its new position.
Closing & Recovery
  • The incision is closed with sutures, and a knee brace is applied.
  • The patient is monitored for pain control and swelling reduction.
