Limb Alignment Correction

Knee limb alignment correction 0 large

Varus and valgus knee deformity affect the alignment of the knee and distribution of biomechanical loads on the knee joint. When the knee is malaligned, the forces in the knee joint are not evenly distributed and may overload one compartment causing pain and possibly degeneration. As an alternative to partial or total knee arthroplasty, an osteotomy can be performed on the tibia or femur in order to properly realign the weight-bearing line, restore the ideal mechanical environment and minimize pain.
