Is Total Knee Replacement (TKR) the only solution for knee arthritis, or can High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO) be a better option for certain patients?
In this informative video, Dr. AK Agrawal, Senior Orthopedic Surgeon at Satya Hospital, explains the key differences between High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO) and Total Knee Replacement (TKR). Learn how each procedure works, who is the ideal candidate, and how choosing the right treatment at the right time can help relieve pain, restore mobility, and improve your quality of life.
High Tibial Osteotomy is a joint-preserving procedure designed for younger, active patients with arthritis affecting only one side of the knee. By correcting the alignment of the leg, HTO shifts weight away from the damaged portion of the knee, helping reduce pain while preserving the natural joint and delaying the need for knee replacement. In contrast, Total Knee Replacement is the preferred treatment for patients with advanced or widespread knee arthritis, where the damaged joint is replaced with artificial implants to provide long-lasting pain relief and improved function.
