Joint Preservation Surgery
Personalized non-replacement procedures for selected knee, hip and cartilage conditions by Dr. Vipin Singh, an orthopedic doctor in Indore.
Why Choose Joint Preservation?
Preserve Healthy Joint Tissue
Selected procedures aim to preserve healthy bone, cartilage and ligaments while treating the damaged area.
Correct Joint Alignment
Osteotomy can realign the leg and redistribute pressure away from the more damaged part of the knee.
Personalized Activity Goals
Treatment planning considers movement goals, but deep squatting cannot be guaranteed after surgery.
May Postpone Replacement
Joint-preserving procedures may postpone replacement in selected patients, but results and duration vary.
A knee osteotomy reshapes either the tibia or femur to shift load away from the more damaged part of the joint. It may be considered when arthritis is concentrated mainly in one knee compartment, but it cannot guarantee permanent avoidance of joint replacement.
Joint Preservation Solutions
High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO)
Realigns the upper shinbone to shift load away from the more damaged knee compartment in selected patients.
Distal Femoral Osteotomy (DFO)
Realigns the lower thighbone in selected patients with knock-knee alignment and outer-compartment overload.
Cartilage Restoration: ACI / OATS
Cartilage restoration may be considered for selected focal defects based on size, location and joint health.
Hip Preservation & Core Decompression
Core decompression may be considered for selected early-stage AVN before major femoral-head collapse.
Who Is a Candidate for Preservation?
Joint-preservation procedures are not suitable for every patient. Advanced widespread arthritis, extensive cartilage loss or severe joint collapse may make joint replacement a more appropriate option.
