Correcting Alignment, Saving Joints
Joint Deformity Correction is a specialized field focused on restoring the natural alignment of bones. When legs are bowed (varus) or knock-kneed (valgus), weight is distributed unevenly, leading to rapid cartilage wear in one part of the knee.
At Trinay Orthopedic Hospital, we use Osteotomy (precise bone cutting and realignment) to shift the weight-bearing axis back to the healthy center of the joint, avoiding the need for a premature replacement. Our goal is joint preservation and longevity.

Types of Deformities We Treat
- Bow Legs (Genu Varum): Overloading the inner knee. Treated with High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO).
- Knock Knees (Genu Valgum): Overloading the outer knee. Treated with Distal Femoral Osteotomy (DFO).
- Post-Traumatic Deformity: Correcting bones that healed crookedly after a fracture.
Global Goal: Joint Preservation
Our gold standard is to keep your natural joint as long as possible. High Tibial Osteotomy acts as a "biological knee replacement," letting you return to high-impact activities like running or heavy labor that artificial joints might not support.
