APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The surgery involves removing either a wedge of bone from the outside of your knee or opening up a wedge of bone on the inside of your knee, creating a straighter leg and preventing the progression of arthritis. Some types of knee osteotomies include: Tibial osteotomy.

Detailed explanation-2: -This procedure is sometimes called a high tibial osteotomy (HTO). This procedure can be performed in two different ways: A wedge of bone graft or synthetic bone is placed on the medial side of the tibia and secured with a plate and screws. A wedge of bone is removed from the outer (lateral) side of the tibia.

Detailed explanation-3: -A bone excision is the removal of a portion or growth of bone. The medical term for this minor surgery is called an osteotomy, or literally, “removal of bone".
