Joint Preservation & High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO): Assessment, Treatment & Recovery
Joint-preserving strategies aim to reduce symptoms and maintain function where appropriate, especially when alignment or localized cartilage wear contributes to joint overload.
What we assess and consider
Assessment of alignment, activity, joint condition and imaging; discussion of physiotherapy, activity changes, bracing or selected procedures such as high tibial osteotomy.
Common reasons for assessment
- Selected knee alignment problems
- Early or localized joint wear
- Patients where joint-preserving treatment may be appropriate
