A high tibial osteotomy is an orthopedic operation performed to change the alignment of the knee. It is used to reduce the weight taken through the worn half of the knee joint and is designed to delay the need for knee replacement surgery. It is a significant operation and has a lengthy recovery period (much longer than that for a joint replacement).
You should discuss the High Tibial Osteotomy with your surgeon to see if if is a possibility for your situation. Another option is to trial an Unloader Knee Brace.
