High Tibial Osteotomies (HTO)

The alignment of the leg impacts the life of the knee joint. Misalignment of the leg can put unequal pressure on the knee joint, which can cause uneven wear on the cartilage over time. A high tibial osteotomy may be performed to prolong the life of the knee joint and realign the leg by equally distributing the pressure on the knee joint. Your doctor may recommend surgery using a biologics implant as treatment.

Biologic implants are a natural alternative to synthetic and metal implants, and unlike synthetic and metal implants, biologic implants incorporate into the patient’s body.

It is important to discuss questions or concerns with your physician before your surgery.
