الركبة Osteotomy
Osteotomy realigns the leg so that body weight passes through the healthy side of the knee instead of the damaged one — relieving pain and buying years before a replacement is needed.

Alignment Planning
Long-leg X-rays are used to calculate the correction precisely.
الأسلوب الجراحي
A small incision exposes the tibia or femur at the planned level.
Controlled Cut
The osteotomy is performed under image guidance, hinge preserved.
Correction
The wedge is opened or closed to the planned axis and verified.
التثبيت
A low-profile locking plate holds the correction while bone heals.
الجدول الزمني للتعافي (خطوة بخطوة)
الأسبوع ١–٢Partial weight bearing on crutches · Swelling control · Motion exercises
الأسبوع ٣–٦Increasing load as bone healing allows · Cycling · Strengthening
الأسبوع ٦–١٢Full weight bearing · Gait retraining · Progressive gym work
الشهر ٣–٦Running and impact activity reintroduced
الشهر ٦–١٢Full sport · Plate removal only if it causes irritation*Early arthritis often affects one compartment only, usually the inner side of a bow-legged knee. Replacing the whole joint in an active patient is a big step; changing the mechanics is often the smarter one.
By moving the load line a few degrees, the worn compartment is unloaded and the healthy one takes over. For many active patients this means years of high-level activity with their own joint.
- Single-compartment arthritis with a matching leg deformity
- Younger, active patients wanting to keep their own joint
- Pain focused on the inner or outer side of the knee
- Combined with cartilage, meniscus or ligament surgery
- Long-leg X-raysThe correction is planned digitally to the degree
- الإقلاع عن التدخينNicotine markedly slows bone healing — this matters here
- Crutch trainingSix weeks of partial loading is normal; practise beforehand
- Home setupPlan for reduced mobility during the first weeks
An osteotomy is biomechanics, not implant surgery. Get the axis right and the patient keeps their own knee — often for a decade or more of sport. That is a trade worth making in a young, active patient.
