Hi Joy

A High Tibial Osteotomy is surgery for knee realignment.

Craigger,

Good stuff this HTO.  Glad you are having a good recovery.  Mine is still going strong.  I have skied, referee lots of high level rsoccer, cycling etc.  It was the right procedure for my knee.  I had a closing wedge and will have the hardware removed before the end of the year.

Keep up the good work.......................Jim
