Distal Femoral Osteotomy

Distal Femoral Osteotomy is available through Sports Medicine North at a published cash price, paid when you book.

Distal femoral osteotomy is a surgical procedure performed to address certain knee conditions, often associated with malalignment or deformities in the distal part of the femur (thigh bone). This orthopedic intervention involves strategically cutting and repositioning the distal femur to correct angular deformities, such as valgus or varus alignment, and to alleviate pressure on specific areas of the knee joint. By modifying the alignment of the femur, distal femoral osteotomy aims to improve weight distribution and reduce stress on damaged or overloaded knee structures. This procedure is commonly employed to treat conditions like osteoarthritis, instability, or traumatic injuries that affect the biomechanics of the knee, with the ultimate goal of enhancing joint function and relieving pain.
