Access personalized High Tibial Osteotomy care using advanced medical technology, supported by expert specialists and dedicated international patient services.
Werndale Hospital provides specialized High Tibial Osteotomy with an emphasis on accurate limb alignment, preservation of the native knee joint, and personalized recovery care. Established in 1991, the accredited hospital is based in Carmarthen, United Kingdom and has 19 beds supported by modern orthopedic and rehabilitation facilities.
High Tibial Osteotomy involves surgically changing the angle of the upper shinbone to redistribute forces across the knee joint. It is primarily used in selected patients with compartment-specific knee degeneration and malalignment who may benefit from a joint-preserving approach. Depending on the planned correction, an opening-wedge or closing-wedge osteotomy may be performed, followed by fixation with a plate and screws. Detailed standing X-rays and alignment measurements are used to plan the correction, while follow-up imaging monitors bone healing and alignment.
