Operative Video - High Tibial Osteotomy for Knee Arthritis - Part 1

Is this what is done to correct genu valgum (knock knees)? And, is this device what is known as an EBI frame? I'm considering surgery on both knees for this and really HOPE the femoral osteotomy can be done via a minimally invasive method.

[mangalparihar]

not really. this is done to correct bowlegs (the opposite of knock knees). also, this osteotomy is done in the tibia, the bone below the knee, while you are referring to the femur, which is above the knee. the fixators are similar.

Dreams come true!

At press of a button, world authority ,like Dr.Mangalparihar, can teach you,so nicely!

Hats off to your hard work ,labour, you have put in.

Keep it up.

[xenusfett]

when you have a fractured femur and you are doing an external fixation, do you have to cut it open to see the bone?

[mangalparihar]

not necessarily, but may occasionally be required.

How much is the approximate cost of this surgery?
