Knee Osteotomy in Pune

Knee Osteotomy

Knee Osteotomy is a surgical procedure where a bone (either the tibia or femur) is cut and realigned to relieve pressure on the knee joint. It is primarily used to treat early-stage osteoarthritis that affects only one side of the knee. By shifting body weight away from the damaged cartilage to the healthier side of the joint, an osteotomy can significantly reduce pain and delay the need for a total knee replacement.

Dr. Varun Shelke specializes in High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO) and Distal Femoral Osteotomy (DFO), tailoring the procedure to the specific deformity and needs of the patient. This surgery is particularly beneficial for younger, active individuals who wish to continue engaging in sports or heavy physical work. It preserves the patient's own knee anatomy, allowing for a more natural feel and function compared to artificial joints.

The success of a knee osteotomy depends on precise surgical technique and diligent rehabilitation. Our clinic provides comprehensive support throughout the recovery process, from bone healing to muscle strengthening. We aim to help you return to your desired level of activity with a stable, pain-free knee, preserving your joint health for the future.
