Tibial Osteotomy with Closed Wedge
This surgical procedure is used in cases where osteoarthritis has affected only one side of the knee joint. The tibia is cut and realigned so that pressure is shifted from the damaged side of the knee joint to the healthier side.
The tibia is cut in two places and a wedge of bone is removed. The two sides of the tibia are carefully bent together to close the opening.
