Limb Alignment Correction

Varus and valgus knee deformity affect the alignment of the knee and distribution of biomechanical loads on the knee joint. When the knee is malaligned, the forces in the knee joint are not evenly distributed and may overload one compartment causing pain and possibly degeneration. As an alternative to partial or total knee arthroplasty, an osteotomy can be performed on the tibia or femur in order to properly realign the weight-bearing line, restore the ideal mechanical environment and minimize pain.

iBalance^® HTO Surgical Technique

Using iBalance implants and instrument system to create a safety envelope with locked-in retractors, the iBalance HTO surgical technique builds confidence and familiarity with a step-by-step guide for creating safe, reproducible cuts. The technique significantly reduces the chances of neurovascular injury and lateral hinge fractures,¹ and the instruments help align the osteotomy to the sagittal and coronal planes, thus preserving the tibial slope.
