Osteotomy

High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO)

HTO is an osteotomy procedure for bowlegged patients. The tibia (shin) is cut and straightened out, then held in place with a plate and screws. It is performed for localized arthritis on the inside part of the knee.

Distal Femoral Osteotomy (DFO)

Similar to the HTO, but used for the treatment of knock-kneed patients with arthritis of the lateral (outside) part of the knee. Here, the femur (thighbone) is cut and straightened.

Tibial Tubercle Osteotomy (TTO)

The procedure is useful for the treatment of patellar dislocations as well as for specific areas of arthritis behind the kneecap.

Satisfied SOS Patients

Dr. Battaglia is an example of a caring, capable specialist without any sense of going through the motions. He speaks at a level any layman can understand, I detect no arrogance that some higher educated people sometimes display. My son and I are very comfortable with his care and highly recommend.
