Exploring the Benefits of Corrective Osteotomies for Knee and Hip Issue
What Does Corrective Osteotomy Mean for Your Joint Health?
If you’re dealing with knee or hip problems caused by arthritis, injuries, or bone misalignment, you’ve probably heard of corrective osteotomy. This type of surgery will align the bones for easier movement and to remove pain from your joint. It is a better option for active people who avoid replacing the joint and want to experience as good a quality of life as possible.
Corrective Osteotomy How Does It Help?
Corrective osteotomy relies heavily on reestablishing balance. Often times, when bones around your knee or hip get misaligned, they can place additional stress on the joint, which creates pain and further injury. This surgery will literally cut and move the bone to redistribute the weight across the joint.
Osteotomy is most frequently performed on younger patients or those in whose joints there is relatively mild to moderate arthritis. It is especially beneficial for active individuals who want to keep their natural joint and not opt for a replacement. Corrective osteotomy not only alleviates pain but also slows joint degeneration, allowing you to live more years comfortably and with mobility.
For knees, it rectifies issues such as bowels or knock-knees; for hips, it corrects misalignments due to arthritis or injury, finally establishing the joint in its proper alignment to avoid further damage.
Why choose Corrective Osteotomy?
Corrective osteotomy can provide long-term relief, improved joint function, and a delay in the need for joint replacement. It is an excellent option for many, allowing one to stay active and ease joint pain without leaping straight to a replacement. If keeping your natural joint is important to you, this could be the solution you’re looking for.
When to See a Doctor?
If knee or hip pain is affecting your daily life and other treatments like medication or physical therapy aren’t helping, it might be time to consider corrective osteotomy. A doctor can assess your condition and guide you toward the best treatment option.
