Скачать или смотреть Removing A Bone Wedge Is Key To Realigning Crooked Knees

Closing Wedge Distal Femoral Osteotomy: Restoring #KneeJoint Balance - Knee alignment matters and those suffering from lateral compartment osteoarthritis with a valgus (knock-kneed) deformity, a Closing Wedge Distal Femoral Osteotomy (CWDFO) can help. This surgical technique corrects alignment by removing a wedge-shaped portion of bone from the medial (inner) side of the distal femur, allowing the leg to shift into proper alignment. Unlike its counterpart - opening wedge #femoralosteotomy - the closing technique offers faster healing through direct bone-to-bone contact and eliminates the need for bone grafts. #shorts
The biplanar approach (creating both horizontal and ascending cuts) provides crucial rotational stability and enhances healing by increasing contact surface area. This precision surgery requires careful preoperative planning to determine the exact size of bone wedge needed for optimal correction. Post-surgery, patients typically experience significantly reduced pain, improved function, and a delay in the need for knee replacement. #OsteotomySurgery
Ideal candidate for Distal Femur Osteotomy? A younger, active individuals w/ #kneevalgus malalignment originating primarily from the femur (vs. tibia) who wants to maintain their lifestyle and postpone joint replacement. The goal is to restore proper joint mechanics while preserving the natural knee. For those facing lateral compartment arthritis w/ valgus alignment, this procedure represents not just pain relief, but the chance to return to activities they love. Healing takes time, but with proper rehabilitation, patients can expect to resume non-impact sports by 4 mos and potentially return to higher-impact activities after complete bone healing (typically 4-6 mos).
