Supracondylar Corrective Osteotomy Treatment in India

Vikram Brown, a 42-year-old construction foreman and father of two, had lived with a noticeable limp since a childhood fall that was never properly treated. Over the last five years, increasing pain in his left knee, especially after long days on site, had become debilitating. An X-ray revealed a severe, long-standing valgus deformity (knock-knee) from the old fracture, causing uneven wear and early arthritis. His orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Chen, explained that a Supracondylar Corrective Osteotomy was the best option to realign his leg, redistribute weight off the damaged cartilage, and hopefully delay a knee replacement for decades. Vikram was terrified of a long recovery and supporting his family, but proceeded. The surgery went smoothly. The first weeks on crutches were frustrating, but dedicated physical therapy restored his strength. Nine months post-op, Vikram walks without pain or a limp for the first time in memory. He feels a profound relief and a quiet joy in being able to play soccer with his sons and work a full day without wincing. The procedure gave him back not just function, but a sense of physical wholeness he thought was lost forever.
