Knee Joint01:23

Knee Joint

The knee joint is the most complicated joint in the body. It consists of three articulations– two tibiofemoral and one patellofemoral. As is characteristic of synovial joints, the knee joint has a thin articular capsule that partially surrounds this joint cavity. Additionally, several ligaments, muscles, and cartilaginous structures support the movement of the knee.
A total of seven ligaments support the knee joint. The patellar ligament, which is also attached to the quadriceps femoris group...

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Biomechanics
    • Knee Joint Anatomy

    Background:

    • Osteotomies around the knee are indicated for pain reduction, functional improvement, joint stabilization, and cartilage preservation.
    • Accurate preoperative assessment of deformity location (proximal tibia, distal femur, or both) is critical.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline the indications and essential preoperative planning for knee osteotomies.
    • To describe the technical considerations for performing high tibial osteotomies, distal femoral osteotomies, and double-level osteotomies.
    • To highlight surgical tips for safe and effective execution of knee osteotomies.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of indications and preoperative planning for knee osteotomies.
    • Description of surgical techniques for isolated and combined osteotomies (high tibial, distal femoral, double-level).
    • Discussion of technical nuances including hinge point selection and soft-tissue management.

    Main Results:

    • Osteotomies can address coronal and/or sagittal knee deformities.
    • Successful execution relies on precise deformity localization and appropriate procedure selection.
    • Technical tips enhance safety and efficacy in surgical correction.

    Conclusions:

    • Thorough preoperative planning is paramount for knee osteotomies.
    • Understanding surgical techniques and potential challenges ensures optimal patient outcomes.
    • Osteotomies are effective in correcting knee deformities, improving function and preserving joint health.
