We at BEST BONE CLINIC provide the Limb realignment surgery, Limb realignment is a group of surgical procedures, also known as osteotomies, that re-orient and re-direct weight-bearing forces through the knee. The most common reason for an osteotomy is arthritis of the knee that is limited to a single area or compartment. This usually occurs because of a severe bow-legged or knock-kneed shape to the knees. Because the other parts of the knee remain healthy, an osteotomy can be used to direct most of the bodyweight through this area, avoiding the pressure across the arthritic part of the knee and the resultant pain. Other reasons osteotomies can be used include cartilage restoration procedures and realignment after a malunion (abnormal healing position) of a fracture. After careful calculation of the weight-bearing axis of the limb and the deformity of the knee, either the tibia (shin bone) or femur (thigh bone) is cut to realign the limb to the desired position. The osteotomy is then held still with a combination of plates, screws, and bone graft. Osteotomies around the knee are major surgeries. It is done in the hospital, and most patients stay overnight and are out of work for about a week or two. Weight-bearing and activity will be limited for the first 6 weeks to allow the osteotomy site to heal, however, the immediate motion of the knee will be started in therapy. Most patients begin full weight bearing on the limb by 6-8 weeks, and full recovery can be expected by 4 months.
