Surgical Solutions for Knee Deformities: Fixing Distal Femoral and Proximal Tibial Malalignment

Addressing Common Knee Deformities: Surgical Solutions for Distal Femoral and Proximal Tibial Malalignment

🔍
In this video, Dr. Mohammed Saeed, an experienced orthopedic surgeon, discusses a prevalent knee deformity caused by distal femoral and proximal tibial malalignment. This condition, commonly seen among young individuals, often results in a noticeable bowing of the legs, which can lead to pain, limited mobility, and progression of joint degeneration if left untreated.

Dr. Saeed highlights the importance of surgical intervention in severe cases, particularly when conservative treatments fail to provide relief. The primary technique involves tibial osteotomy, where a precise wedge (open or closed) is made in the upper tibia to correct the alignment, restore balance, and improve knee function.

The goal of this procedure is not only to alleviate pain and improve mobility but also to preserve the knee joint and enhance the patient’s quality of life in the long term.

This video is designed for both medical professionals and patients, offering insights into this advanced surgical technique and its role in managing knee deformities effectively.
