knee replacement

Young girl of 16 yrs from afghanistan

I RECENTLY OPERATED ON A YOUNG GIRL OF 16 YRS FROM AFGHANISTAN WITH BOTH KNEE TIBIA VARA ( BOWING OF LEGS ) SHE HAD GROSS DEFORMITY .NOW HER WALKING IS PAINFUL AND ALSO SHE GET FATIGUED VERY EARLY.

GENERALLY I OPERATE SUCH CASES ONE LEG AT A TIME SO THAT PATIENTS MOBILITY IS NOT HAMPERED ,BUT IN THIS SPECIAL CASE I HAD TO OPERATE BOTH IN ONE SITTING AS HER FAMILY HAD CAME FROM AFGHANISTAN FOR SURGERY ONLY AND FOR THEM COMING AGAIN WILL BE EXPENSIVE.

SHE HAD UNDER GONE BOTH KNEE CORRECTIVE VALGUS OSTEOTOMY . I USE ILIAC CREST BONE GRAFT WEDGE TO STABILISE OSTEOTOMY .

ITS DONE USING MINIMAL INVASIVE TECHNIQUE , SEE THE SIZE OF INCISION .

NOW THE FINAL XRAY
