Now my preference is to do is do medial openings wedge osteotomies
which is based on years of experience. If you opt for lateral closing
wedges then you might find problems such as the lateral ligaments
becoming too loose, the tight medial ligament wasn’t released and if the
patient ever required a knee replacement it is really difficult.
Now the advantage of medial opening wedge is strong plate and able to
weight bear early. Two to six weeks of crutches along with tight MCL
corrected at same time. In general future options are barely
compromised but the list of complications is long.
Let me inform you that there is no operation that is completely safe and
complications can be severe enough. Now both patient and surgeon
might wish that it hadn’t been done and none the less the vast majority
of the realignment operations go well. The biggest issue is that it
probably means the knee probably can have a partial knee replacement,
although it can still have a total knee replacement.
