Leg Straightening Surgery \u2013 Osteotomy<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leg deformities<\/a> are a leading cause of imbalanced and improper loading of the knee joint. If left untreated over the years, such deformities can lead to arthritis of the knee joint<\/a>. Straightening of the legs via a knee osteotomy is the recommended remedy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The human knee joint is a complicated cooperation between muscles, tendons, cartilage and bone. As the largest joint in the body, the knee experiences the most use and therefore deteriorates over time. Usually, this deterioration will not present any problems. But leg deformities can accelerate this natural degeneration and can potentially lead to arthritis of the knee joint. With the help of a knee osteotomy early on, the risk of developing arthritis can be greatly reduced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
