very common among children in their development
stages. They sort themselves out below 5 years of

Knee Realignment Surgery
Knee Realignment Surgery using Osteotomy Knee
osteotomy is a common procedure that is commonly
used to realign the knee in adults with arthritis
damage on one side of the knee. Knee realignment
surgery is performed to shift the weight of the
body from the damaged side of the knee to the
healthy side of the knee. A knee surgeon
performs this knee realignment surgery by
removing the wedge of the shin bone from the
healthy side of the knee to transfer the weight
from the damaged part of the knee to the
healthier part. Knee osteotomy not only corrects
the alignment of the knee but also prolong the
knee joints life span.
