Tibial Tubercle Osteotomy: A Revolutionary Treatment for Knee Dislocations
Are you suffering from a knee dislocation? If so, you're not alone. According to recent statistics, knee dislocations are some of the most common orthopedic injuries, and they can significantly impact your lifestyle and mobility. Fortunately, modern medicine offers several ways to treat knee dislocations, with tibial tubercle osteotomy being one of the most revolutionary and effective options.
At Fort Worth Orthopedics in Keller and Fort Worth, TX, our skilled knee surgeons offer tibial tubercle osteotomy as a cutting-edge treatment for knee dislocations. But what exactly is tibial tubercle osteotomy, and how does it help?
Tibial tubercle osteotomy is a surgical procedure that involves cutting and relocating a small part of the shinbone (tibia) to realign the patellar (kneecap) tendon. The procedure is designed to address certain anatomical factors that can lead to knee dislocations, such as a shallow or tilted groove on the thigh bone (femur) that houses the patella or a misaligned tibial tubercle.
During the procedure, the surgeon makes a small incision in the front of the knee and carefully cuts the tibial tubercle before moving it to a new location using special screws or wires. By adjusting the position of the tibial tubercle, the surgeon can create a more stable and balanced joint, reduce pain and inflammation, restore your range of motion, and prevent future dislocations.
Tibial tubercle osteotomy is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes about an hour to complete. After the surgery, you'll need to wear a knee brace or cast for several weeks to protect the healing bone and tendon. You'll also need to follow a physical therapy program to help you regain strength and flexibility in your knee.
While tibial tubercle osteotomy is a relatively new technique, it has shown excellent results in treating knee dislocations in many patients. Studies have shown that the procedure can significantly reduce pain and improve knee function, with a high success rate of around 85-90%. Moreover, tibial tubercle osteotomy is a minimally invasive procedure that typically involves fewer risks and complications than traditional knee surgery.
