Procedures: Close Wedge Osteotomy

Precision Knee Realignment for Long-Term Joint Health

What is Close Wedge Osteotomy?

Close Wedge Osteotomy is a surgical procedure performed to correct knee misalignment by removing a small wedge of bone from the tibia (shinbone) or femur (thighbone). The remaining bone edges are then brought together and secured with a plate and screws, restoring proper joint alignment and reducing knee pain.

Purpose: Redistributes weight-bearing forces across the knee joint, alleviating pain and slowing arthritis progression.
Ideal for: Patients with varus (bow-legged) or valgus (knock-knee) deformities, early osteoarthritis, or those wanting to delay knee replacement.

Who Needs Close Wedge Osteotomy?

  • Medial or Lateral Knee Osteoarthritis
