    High Tibial Osteotomy Titch's Recovery thread

    Thanks for the reply. I had my HTO done 9 days ago. Things are improving but I still have lots of pain. I can control the pain with normal OTC pain meds so no issues there. One thing that I find unusual is that most of the swelling and pain is now around the knuckle of the inside of my ankle...

    High Tibial Osteotomy 4 weeks post arthroscopy

    I had my HTO done 9 days ago. Things are improving but I still have lots of pain. I can control the pain with normal OTC pain meds so no issues there. One thing that I find unusual is that most of the swelling and pain is now around the knuckle of the inside of my ankle. Did this happen to you?

    High Tibial Osteotomy 4 weeks post arthroscopy

    Just thought I would update. Nearly 4 months since arthroscopy and my condition has gotten worse. PT didn't help. Surgeon has prescribed me an unloader brace to evaluate whether an HTO is a sensible course of action. It's horribly uncomfortable but does give me alot of relief. I've been...

    High Tibial Osteotomy 4 weeks post arthroscopy

    I'm 4 weeks post surgery for an arthroscopy with a partial meniscectomy. My knee hasn't improved much after surgery. Range of motion is slightly better but the pain that I had in the knee is still there and it doesn't feel like it's improving. My surgeon recommended that I do 3 months of PT...

    High Tibial Osteotomy 4 weeks post arthroscopy

    Two weeks on from surgery and the clicking and catching has definitely gone but the pain at the joint line is worse than before. I assume this is just from the surgery. How were others recovery from partial meniscectomy? My knee feels loose and fragile despite being able to do all of the...

    High Tibial Osteotomy I had success with a tibial Osteotomy

    @runman could I ask you about the symptoms and consultations that lead to an HTO? I was an ultra runner and long distance triathlete until last year where I was diagnosed with medial compartment OA. I've just had an arthroscopy but I'm pretty sure that an HTO is my only route back to some...

    High Tibial Osteotomy 4 weeks post arthroscopy

    @djklaugh thanks for the reply. You are right it's early days and there is a chance all could be well after the arthroscopy. I think the fact the my condition is degenerative is the thing that causes me concern. It wasn't caused by an accident or injury of any sort. But I agree, just because...

    High Tibial Osteotomy 4 weeks post arthroscopy

    I'm lucky enough to have private healthcare so I can see my surgeon face to face at his private clinic. I've always been lucky enough to have good health and never needed to use my private healthcare. TBH I'm finding the whole process intimidating and I'm just listening. After researching a...

    High Tibial Osteotomy 4 weeks post arthroscopy

    Is it ok to ask my surgeon about potential operations? Even if he hasn't suggested them? I was extremely active before this knee issue and I really need to get back to some level of activity. I accept I won't be running ever again but I need to be able to get back to the outdoors for long...

    High Tibial Osteotomy 4 weeks post arthroscopy

    Surgery was 2nd Feb on my left knee. I'll be honest I just made the assumption that a TKR is off the cards based on my research. My surgeon said I will need one eventually but maybe he wasn't referring to my age when saying this

    High Tibial Osteotomy 4 weeks post arthroscopy

    I've just recently undergone a partial meniscectomy of my medial meniscus and debridement. I have degenerative arthritis of the medial compartment of my left knee. Having done some research I feel like the meniscectomy may not have done much to improve my condition. I'm 41 so a TKR is off the...
