High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO) is a surgical procedure performed to change the alignment of a specific bone to shift stresses or force from worn joint, as an alternative to joint replacement. It is one of the common operations that correct severe bunions in lower leg or feet. High Tibial Osteotomy is used to treat osteoarthritis only affects one part either the inside half or outside half of the knee.
Purpose of High Tibial Osteotomy One reason to perform High Tibial Osteotomy is to give pain relief for year n years prior to knee replacement for the patients with Medical Compartment Arthritis and a Varus Knee. This is mostly for the patients who are young to be optimal for Knee Replacement. The other reason is to correct malalignment in patients who are undergoing for Carticel Implantation. HTO procedure is done to protect the cartilage replacement from failure due to compressive force on the graft.
HTO procedure is also performed by cutting the bone and inserting a plate and the external fixator instead for the reasons. First a Plate method where the bone is cut, a wedge of bone is removed and the tibia is straightened all at once. It is difficult to achieve the desired alignment using this method with as a high degree of accuracy as the external fixator method and another was the External Fixator method does not compromise future total knee replacement while it becomes necessary.
HTO procedure is very critical surgery which needs quality orthopedic implants and instruments to perform. Hence we manufacture and supply superior quality of HTO clamp and Knee bone clamps like single adjustable clamp, transverse clamps, elbow clamps, etc. We are one of the manufacturers and exporters of orthopedic clamps, implants and instrument set at reasonable cost from India.
