About Osteotomy Tibia And Fibula

An osteotomy of the tibia and fibula is a precise orthopedic surgical procedure designed to correct significant deformities or malalignments in the lower leg. During this surgery, the surgeon makes carefully calculated cuts (osteotomies) in both the tibia (shinbone) and fibula (the smaller bone alongside it) to realign the leg's mechanical axis. This realignment redistributes weight-bearing forces across the knee and ankle joints, alleviating pain, slowing joint degeneration, and improving function. It is a common and effective treatment for conditions like severe bowlegs (varus deformity) or knock-knees (valgus deformity) that have not responded to conservative management, aiming to restore proper leg alignment and delay or prevent the need for joint replacement surgery.

Key Highlights

    Corrects significant leg deformities to improve alignment and gait.Redistributes weight-bearing forces, reducing stress on knee and ankle joints.Can alleviate chronic pain and improve joint function.May delay or prevent the need for a total knee or ankle replacement.Offers a joint-preserving surgical option for younger, active patients.

Who is this surgery for?

  • Severe varus (bowleg) or valgus (knock-knee) deformities causing pain or instability.
  • Osteoarthritis of the knee or ankle with associated malalignment.
  • Post-traumatic deformities from improperly healed fractures.
  • Certain congenital conditions affecting leg alignment, such as Blount's disease.
  • Failed conservative treatments like bracing, physical therapy, or medications for deformity-related pain.

How to prepare

  • Comprehensive pre-operative evaluation including X-rays and possibly CT scans to plan the correction angle.
  • Medical clearance to ensure fitness for surgery and anesthesia.

  • Persistent pain, stiffness, or the need for additional surgery.

Recovery & hospital stay

  • Initial hospital stay for pain management and monitoring.
  • Use of crutches or a walker with strict non-weight-bearing on the operated leg for 6-8 weeks.
  • A cast, brace, or external fixator to protect and stabilize the correction.
  • Gradual introduction of weight-bearing and physical therapy to restore strength, range of motion, and gait.
  • Regular follow-up X-rays to monitor bone healing progress.
  • Avoidance of high-impact activities for several months until full healing is confirmed.
  • checked Typical hospital stay: 3-5 days
  • checked Expected recovery time: 6-12 months for full functional recovery

PATIENT REVIEW

Had my gallbladder out at MGM....

Had my gallbladder out at MGM. Dr. Vinod was really clear about what to expect after. The first couple days were rough, I won't lie, but his team had a good plan for the pain that actually worked. Follow-up was simple, he just told me to take it easy and call if anything felt off. Felt normal again quicker than I thought.
