Knee joint preserving surgeries are designed to treat early arthritis or joint damage while maintaining the patient’s natural knee structures.
These procedures—such as
ligament reconstruction,
cartilage restoration,
and
osteotomies—aim to relieve pain, improve function, and delay or avoid total knee replacement.
Key advantages include
preservation of the native joint,
better proprioception,
more natural knee kinematics,
and
improved ability to perform high-demand or ground-level activities.
Among these, High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO) is a highly effective procedure for unicompartmental knee arthritis with malalignment. By realigning the mechanical axis,
HTO offloads the diseased compartment and redistributes weight to the healthier side of the knee, thereby reducing pain and slowing disease progression.
Dr. Tushar C. Patil specializes in performing advanced HTO procedures using precise planning and minimally invasive techniques. His approach focuses on restoring alignment, preserving joint function, and enabling patients to return to an active, pain-free lifestyle while postponing the need for joint replacement.
